This is about the first model power tilt that<br />OMC made (not trim). Pump outside the bracket<br />feeding a single cylinder on the inside of the<br />bracket which replaces one of the two shocks.<br />A seperate mini cylinder which operates the reverse<br />lock release. It is on a transom bracket for<br />a 1971 115hp (My moter is a 1970 85hp but the tilt<br />unit doesn't seem to care).<br /><br />The pump operates well, tilting it up and down<br />even while under power at low RPM's. However,<br />most of the time it will slowly lower back to<br />the down position while boat is sitting at dock.<br />(Think leaking release valve). <br /><br />I cannot locate a manual which describes this<br />particular tilt unit (have tried two different <br />factory manuals, and the seloc manual).<br /><br />I made a half hearted attempt to look at it this<br />spring, but was not able to remove release valve<br />after removing snap ring, and I wasn't comfortable<br />working on it without a manual.<br /><br />A) Does anybody have any suggestions for what<br /> is wrong and how to fix it?<br /><br />B) Anybody have the manual pages for this unit that<br />they can photocopy and send me (I'll reimburse expenses of course)<br /><br />C) Source for spare parts?<br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br />Mike
