Hello anyone. I did an engine & outdrive swap in my 1978 Skiff Craft, with alpha one out drive. I was pretty sure on my hook ups and connections. I've got everything back together and working, but my tilt is reversed on the buttons... down is up, up is down, and when when i use both up and trim it binds. I've re-done the piping connections several ways, but still the same result. The only thing I haven't tried is the thru hull lines, one going to (coming from) hydraulic dumb, and the other going to the upper control bracket. from I thought the 90 degree angle line went to the pump, and the 45 degree angle connection went to upper bracket assembly (or it is the other way around?) Also, I have leak at the upper bracket assembly that I can't figure out where its coming from. I'm attaching pics so possible someone might be able to spot my mistakes.

Anyway, thanks in advance,


Greg A

Lines are reversed... Forward ports in the manifold (at the bottom of the gimbal housing) go to forward ports in the rams... And where the lines enter the rams, they face in line, not across....
