77 omc sterndrive tilt problem

[musicman1]

I have a 77' Galaxy 18' w/ a Ford 302 V8 and a OMC outdrive. The problem is that my tilt will not go up. I've replaced the tilt motor and now i have found the worm gear and the other round brass gear to be worn out in the tilt assembly. does anyone know where i could get these parts?

Musicman, I've got a 78 Stringer and my tilt is apart right now as well. I need the shaft that the worm gear slides on and some other parts up within. I took it to the marina today and my guy has no problem getting parts and said he'd have them in 1 day. I'm in Ontario and this guy hasn't failed me yet and is reasonable. Brown's Marina - Dave is the guy in the know.
