Re: Force 120 Trim Problems
Hi there... Unfortunately, I have recently had the task of completely rebuilding the tilt/trim on my '95 Force 120... This is what I had to do. First I bought a new drive motor which is not that hard to find. I actually found one on a classifieds that somebody bought but didn't use... But, I've seen them on ebay and there are two manufacturers that I know of that still make them. Sierra and ARCO make the pump and if you would like the part numbers I can get those for you... As for the pump manifold. I found the manifold (NOS) in S. Florida at a Marine Surplus Dealer. It seems that Mercury/Quiksilver does not make this part anymore but for whatever it is worth, the part number is 8116707. I just searched ebay using this part number and found one... Price is around $250 for the manifold. So, I bought the electric motor and manifold and put everything back together. Now, if you choose to rebuild like I have, once you get it back together watch out for air in the system. Make sure to fill the reservoir under the electric motor. I had to keep bleeding air through the fill cap and adding fluid to the system until the hydralic cylinder gained enough fluid to lift/lower the engine. But, once I worked all of the air out and got enough fluid into the system it works just fine. If you need any additional information, give me a shout! Good Luck to you....
