Re: 1977 85 hp v4 evinrude power trim/tilt motor
HBF4, a lot of folks have problems with T/T motors, might be the mounting location. The tilt/trim motor must be electrically reversible to run the boat engine up and down. If it runs you might consider repairing the cap with an epoxy product designed for the motor cap material, tilt/trim motors don't come cheap, maybe someone here has a used one or check out ebay, I bought one there for my boat, new motor was $240 without the pump. It was 2 wire T/T motor and my boat was a 3 wire system, a few relays and diodes and away she goes. Good luck and happy Holidays.
