power tilt problem on 1997 , Force 75 HP

[chodie]

Motor run on power tilt, reservior is full of fluid. Cylinder on lift is not leaking and no line leaks. Problem is though, that nothing happens when the lift is actived and motor runs. Any suggestions?

Inside there is a 1/8 or 3/16 hex rod that connects the motor to the pump. If that snapped you can probably find a replacement. Otherwise, you are screwed---As far as I know, the pump is not rebuildable. RRitt may jump in--he may have parts. Send him a private message.

Try lifting the prop by hand. If you can lift engine by hand but then it sinks right back down then getting the fluid pump rebuilt/replaced is your starting point. If the trim motor spins but you can't budge the outboard then check internal hex shaft between trim reservoir and base. If no trim motor spinning then check electrical switches, power, relays, and circuit breakers. If you get good power but no motor spin then motor is needs rebuilt/replace.
