Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
My friend has a 79 140 Johnson and the power tilt and trim stopped working the motor runs fine but it will not raise the motor or lower the motor we can use the bypass screw to raise it and lower any help would be greatly appreciated
A lot of Problems with the Tilt and Trim of that design, is from Operators not retracting the Trim Rams in all the way when securing the engine for towing, once the Tilt Lock is engaged
Thank you Racerone it was low but we filled it up and jimmbo I noticed that he broke the skeg I think he didn’t raise it up or went over a ditch however the problem he wanted me to help with was the switch it wasn’t making contact I got that fixed and ran it up and down about a foot then it stopped motor will run in both directions but outboard doesn’t move we opened the release screw we can lift it up and down I think I will have to take it off and check the valves and pump coupling thank you all
