1976 Evinrude 85hp ..... Need a part....

[irishlakejim]

I just purchased a 16' Starcraft Runabout, that is powered by a 1976 Evinrude V4, 85HP, and I think I will be needing a tilt/trim pump very soon.

The tilt/trim motor runs fine, and it trims both up and down, but has one heck of time tilting up, unless someone 'helps' the motor by pulling it up. It tilts down with no problem, and once tilted 'up', it stays just fine.

Is it still possible to purchase a pump for a motor this old? If so, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks for all your help...

Jim

I have a 76 Johnson 200 that I upgraded the t&t to a 2 wire pump, only down side is you will have to change from the older solinoid to a relay to control it. I picked up the relays used at a marine bone yard for $45
