Having trouble with my tilt/trim on a 1977 140 HP Evinrude. With no oil in the reservoir the electric motor sounds fine, once you put oil in, the motor lifts fine, but going down, it takes 30 secs., and the motor has a different sound to it. Model #1407435. Is there anyway to take the tilt off without taken the motor off the boat to get the unit out the front side? Thanks<br />Eric

Turbo.... Have the engine tilted up fully, and have it supported securely so that it can not move sideways. Remove the bolts securing the port transom bracket and slide it sideways, out of the way. Now you can remove the PTT assy.
