I have two 115hp engines one 1979 Evinrude and one 1976 Johnson. <br /><br />Both have hydrolic trim tilt that has failed on the passengers side (seriously froze).<br /><br />I removed both hydrolic trim tilt units and the 1976 outboard is still stuck in the up position and wont move I believe the 2 engine assist shock absorber type cylenders tucked in at the base of where the motor fastens to the transom are frozen. <br /><br />1st can these be replaced and where can I get them. Or can I just remove them.<br /><br />2nd is there any hope for rebuilding my trim tilt hydrolic cylenders or am I better off buying a CMC aftermarket trim tilt unit for $400.<br /><br />Best regards
