Raymond Ellerton Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Anyone have a Gas assisted Tilt Trim .I found one on Ebay . In the event i cant fix my electric powered i was thinking cheap replacement . I am told it lift the engine and you need to push it down . Do you need to top up the gas ?

Brian Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 What's wrong with your existing trim and tilt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Ellerton Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 It stopped half way down. Now will not go up or down. So taking it off to try and clean up the brushes. if that don,t fix it then think cheapest option is change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Can you hear the motor run? Mine packed up half way up and wouldn't go up or down, the motor was running, it was low on hydraulic oil. I stripped it and replaced a faulty O'Ring and it's as good as new now.

Raymond Ellerton Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 The motor made normal noise as i lowed but stopped no noise i released the pressure screw and the engine went down I lifted it all the way up and tighten the screw it held . So i know its not the ram . i can hear a slight click when i press the rocker switch .So trying to get the hole unit off 3 x bolt corroded snapped off have to drill them out then find one bolt is placed in from the back so have to take the hole engine off the boat to get at it . Decided to cut it off and re tape a tread later.Hope it just the brushes . gas assist is plan B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey B Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I would check the relay first Remove wires may be two or three from the relay and connect to a car battery. Being DC polarity is not important as it should run one way or the other. If it runs it's not the brushes Mikey B Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
