Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some good exploded diagrams of the Alpha 1 (2 solenoid) tilt/trim Valve body that's used in the '81 Mercruiser 140. I took mine apart for a good cleaning and I'm not sure I've got it back together right. Also, can the pressure be adjusted on these pumps or is it pretty much set? Thanks for the help.

Furthermore: what would cause brand new solienoids to click withought the motor actually engaging. Weak battery?

Re: Tilt Trim Diagrams

Just found out that my cylinders are both leaking from their seals around the rams, so the oil is slowly seeping out. My follow up question here is: If I put the boat in the water will the water find its way back up into the cylinders and into the oil? Or will I most likely just create an oil slick?
