I need help in diagnosing and repairing an internal leak in my tilt / trim system.
When in full tilt, it will come down to zero tilt in about half an hour and there are no external leaks.
The motor is a 1988 60hp. but I think the trim system may be older since the pictures, descriptions and fluid specs in my owners manual differ greatly from what is actually installed on the motor.
The sticker on the pump says to use 10W30 but the 1988 Mercury owners manual says tranny fluid?? According to my Seloc manual, it appears to be a "Type A" system.
I was advised in an earlier post to look at the seals on the manual release valve first, but my Seloc manual doesnt identify this item. Do type A systems have a manual release valve and is it possibly called somthing different in the manual?
Also, the troubleshooting page in the Seloc manual says it could be a leaking check valve, but once again, this item is not identified in the parts schmatic, where is this check valve located? Sorry for the long winded post, but I really require some assistance.
