Hey everyone,
I was wondering if someone could help me. After coming back from the lake today, I noticed that the washer that sits around the trim shaft is missing. I went to look for the part online and it's been discontinued. Does anyone have any suggestions?
So I finally got the tilt/trim system rebuilt and today I went to fill it. I raised the system to the full up position and filled the reservoir up to the bottom of the fill hole. I cycled the system up and down a few times but the only thing is does is make a God awful screeching sound and then...
