I bought a used 115 with power tilt/trim. Supposedly the tilt motor/reservoir was rebuilt last fall and just needed filling. Filled it up yesterday (as per manual instructions) and tried it while my friend watched for leaks. He notice the manual overide screw and decided it would be a good idea to tighten it up. After an uncounted number of turns he realized it just kept on spinning. He also noticed a leak of fluid out of a hole exactly opossite this screw on the back side of the reservoir facing the transom. Can't get my fat head in there to see. So, two questions. First, how do I get manual overide back to a "start" or "closed" position, and what is leaking on the back-the manual blow-ups do not label this depression at all.
