Guys, I just got a 2000 Johnson 50HP and the tilt/trim doesn't work. The hydraulic seems to be fine because when you manually lift the engine you can hear and see it rise and when you lower it vice versa. I didn't realize how heavy the engine was when I bought it, but at least I got a good price. As is, I have to get out of the boat to raise the engine and it's really heavy.
New baby on the way so I can't afford a $600 or $700 new tilt trim unit, so if anyone has an old unit available or any ideas as to how I can fix it let me know. I had tilt and trim on my old motor, but someone stole the engine this past winter.
Also, what's that little knob on the controls below the key hole?
Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice.
