94 Force 120 Tilt ram question???

[dirtyrice23]

I just bought a 94 proline with a 94 force 120 from a friend. I know the tilt doesn't work and have read a bunch of forums about this topic. He says that oil is leaking so I'm pretty sure the motor and pump are good. I was just wondering what year rams are compatible or what year seals are compatible, if they r the same size. Trying to do some research as I won't have the boat in my possession for a few weeks. Any help would b greatly appreciated as this is my first boat and will b using it n salt water. I have read eBay is a good place to purchase use rams but wasn't too clear where to get the seals and the size. Thanx again.

Re: 94 Force 120 Tilt ram question???

trim ram is same as 76-92. tilt ram can't be rebuilt but can be replaced with 76-91, which is rebuildable (the rebuildable ones have a separate band collar). the pump is similar to '87-2003 single ram designs used on mercury. pump failure due to debris, broken release, or stuck rocker is fairly common. You can not use different model of pump without also changing oil lines.
