I would like to do some maintenance on this tilt pump due to it struggling at the bottom end.
I have the service manual for the motor but it does not show the pump.
Was it an option with the motor or is it a after market add-on.
What oil do I use? What is the correct procedure for changing the oil?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Re: Tilt Pump Maintenance

It was an OMC add on. Use DextronII ATF in it. Raise it to full tilt and then check the fluid level in it. You could also have some tilt tube brackets that are getting froze up an need some lube.
