boatfixer Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I wouldnt change it unless it is contaminated. No problems, no need to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delmuts Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 How do you check the level on the tilt? Have the motor trimmed all the way up, and if the oil runs out of the hole on the side, it is good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatfixer Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 it should be level with the hole in the full up position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Brelje Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 On a related note, What are some options to purchasing a trim and tilt for a tiller motor? I currently run a 40hp johnson with hydraulic assist and would like to add power trim and tilt eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine_man Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You should have 2 options:1) Get a hold of a place like twin city outboard and see if they have the necessary trim components2) Talk to a dealer and see how much the kit costs to add Power Trim & Tilt.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
