Re: Tilt Mech sealant question
2 weeks ago when I took the boat out on its maiden voyage it overheated and we towed back to the ramp. The trim/tilt wouldnt work when we got the ramp. The three big bolts were frozen solid, actually broke a socket trying to loosen them. Anyways, one guy at the ramp took apart the clutch housing in order to get the sterndrive up. He took a snap ring off and then there were a series of alternating toothed plates that slid over a shaft.
I believe its the clutch housing.... the book says to use 4cyc. motor oil to fill it, teflon based pipe sealant, and OMC gasket sealing compound. Im trying to figure out which permatex product is a good alternative to the OMC gasket sealing compound.
