This is my first post so please take it easy on me. I have a 1986 Force 85hp and the tilt works well with the exception of it sinking down after a brief period of time. There are no visible leaks anywhere around the assembly. I have read that this might be repairable by changing the fluid and the O rings. Is this correct? If so, which O rings need to be replaced and how do I access them?

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 1986 Force 85 Tilt bleeds down

You have a 2 part system.1 is trim the first thing the motor does the 2nd is tilt out.
What is it doing?Bleed down all the way or just to the trim stop?
All the way it could be the hyd pump,just the tilt then it's probably the tilt cylinder. There is usually no easy fix. Let us know what yours does.Jerry
