Help with tilt 125 force

[Kounterfeit]

I've done some research for hours now, haven't come across my problem though. And i don't have a computer so bare with me.

So I just bought a '88 22' bayliner with a 125 force. The tilt isnt working at all. Thought it may have been electrical problem. So I brought it home, tear **** apart, deck is rotten In places, fuel tank needs to be drained and cleaned, and try to figure out the tilt. I pull the cap off the motor maybe? It's right where the the wires come into the first cylinder. There was no oil when I pulled the cap off, but 2 spring loaded blocks that squeeze against a shaft, which is also soldered to wires. One of the blocks were gone and just a wire.

So what's my next approach? Can I just buy a cap already wired? Where do I find it and how do I know it's the correct one? I am mechanically inclined just not on boats.

theres no oil in the tilt trim electric motor. the spring loaded blocks are called brushes you can buy replacement brushes and replace the old ones or you can buy a suitable new replacement motor for about 100 bucks

Cool thank you. I tried putting it back together and it's kind of a pain. What's the best way to do this? I suppose it would probably be easier with the 2 brushes there so the springs won't pop out of the seatings so easily. Also best place to get the brushes?

you can find suitable brushes on this site under boat parts and accessories

I found some of the arco rebuild kits/caps. Are these going to fit right onto the tilt motor? I noticed that the wires are fed in through the top, mine are from the side. May not matter much but just want to be sure these will fit.

Like I said bare with me I'm using a cell phone.

I also have not been able to find just the brushes, can you purchase just the brushes?

and I just spotted this on fleabay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tilt-Trim-M...P-150HP-NEW-/271433487338?hash=item3f32b253ea

it looks like this would bolt right up to what I have.

The motor with the wire from the top or the side makes no difference.
Some come with 2 wires or 3 wires Both will adapt.
Yes the $122 will work.
In fact it will probably be the answer to your problems.

UNLESS the switch is bad or the hydrolic pump in the bottom of the housing is bad.
What's the oil look like? It should be clear and it's 30w motor oil.
Fill it when the motors all the way down.
