tilt and trim hydraulics

[zr580cat]

First off, I'm new here today & I have to say how impressed I am at how much help I received from my first post today. This looks like a great forum.<br /><br />I just figured out the electrical problem with my tilt and trim, so I decided to try it out. It didn't go up all the way, and I noticed a leak. Does someone make a hydraulic stop-leak? Or is there an easy fix for this? Here's a picture of where the leak is:<br /><br /> http://www.cookeagency.com/tnt.htm

Re: tilt and trim hydraulics

Only way to repair that is to take the cylinder head off and replace the seal cat. I would suggest a service manual. OEM's are preferred because they give specific info on your engine. <br /><br />You might check the fluid level in the reservoir. If it's low, the TNT won't get full travel. Remember, check the level with the engine in the full UP position.
