    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    No problem at all....I highly recommend getting a model specific factory service manual for your engine....most marine repair shops will not even look at an old Chrysler or Force so you have to be able to do most repairs yourself. Having a good manual and access to a forum like this you should...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    There is no o-ring for the middle of the cap on the tilt cylinder, it is a friction type seal that cannot be replaced....it looks like yours got knocked off somehow.....however the trim cylinder uses an o-ring where the shaft comes out of it. Go figure.....

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    I meant that they are all the same for Chrysler and Force, made by Prestolite....for all models pretty much....except for the later engines made by Mercury. I think they started using Mercury T&T on the Mercury/Force engines.....

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    Looks like you need a new tilt cylinder.....you can't find parts for these, believe me I have looked. Ended up buying a rebuilt one from Franz marine.....Jerryjerry usually gets on here real early in the morning, maybe he can hook you up with one he has laying around.....they are all the...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    Yeah, no dust cover...it looks like something is wrong with that cap....it should have a lip that goes around the shaft like the one in this pic.....maybe it got over-extended at some point and was damaged?

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    There is no o-ring where the rod comes through the cap. Do this....there is a plastic/rubber cap that sits on top of the cylinder covering the top....it is like a dust cover....it can be pryed up away from the top.....with this cover lifted up, clean up the oil real good, then recheck to make...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    No problem.....those links above for the T&T should apply to your system....I am able to open them on my computer.....if you can access them there is a lot of good info there.....you may find that after replacing the o-rings in the tilt cylinder that the engine still bleeds down. If it does...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    Once the engine is That center one is the power trim....tilt cylinder on right and shock absorber on the left. The components are held in by an upper shaft and a lower shaft, nuts on the ends. Just remove the nuts on the right side, then slide the shafts far enough to the left to free up the...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    "Secondly mine is the dual tilt cylinders with dampening." If you have the factory installed T&T there is only one hydraulic tilt cylinder, on the right(starboard). The one on the left(port) is a shock absorber only. The engine just needs to be tilted up fully to get to the parts to work on...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    " I dont own an outboard stand and from what I can tell there is no upright locking bar on the engine mount.. thing weighs so much. Not sure how to get it off and back on safely." Not sure I read this right....are you saying you want to remove the engine from the boat?

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    If this is a saltwater engine, getting the thru bolts off could be a problem, due to corrosion. Mine moved freely as it has never been in the salt.

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    There were some cheaper tools on ebay but wasn't sure if they had the right sized pins to fit the tilt cap....is easy to round out those little holes if the pins don't fit right....as far as safely holding the engine up while working, mine had the tilt lock so it was easy. I can think of...

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    I use Franz Marine for parts.....I bought a universal trim cap removal tool from Offshore Marine....worked perfectly but kind of pricey at $89.99.....the only one I could find that said it was specifically for Chrysler/Force....

    Tilt Cylinders Leaking

    Check out the sticky thread at the top of this forum called Force and Chrysler FAQ.....click on it, then look at the bottom 2 threads.....lot of info about the T&T system.....how to test and troubleshoot it.....you will need a pin wrench or spanner to get the trim cap off/back on without...

    With a proper tunnel-hull setup.....NOTHING should be below the hull while underway, with the jackplate set correctly....as I understand it.
