I just bought a 1973 Evinrude 25 H.P. outboard and after putting it on my boat realized it doesn't have a tilt lock. Well, it does but it seems totally useless. It is supposed to work. with friction. You tighten the bolt, but how many bumps travelling down a road before the bolt loosens and the motor falls down? I cannot believe any outboard would be made with this as a tilt lock!
To use this motor I would have to launch my boat and then when in the water, put my motor on and then take it off in the water before pulling up a boat launch. Who would do that?
This motor is totally useless to me unless I can find a real manual tilt lock that would work on my 1973 Evinrude.
Does any know where I could find this?
