Re: 1976 tilt trim repair

The port side cylinder is the trim cylinder. The starboard cylinder is the tilt cylinder.

Click the first thumbnail for the description of the functions.

The diagrams show the flow of hydraulic fluid in either direction.

The tilt function should work in both directions at idle or low speed, with or without the trim cylinder, as long as everything else is correct.
