trim tilt leak

[Johnson110]

Today i had my son and nephew on the boat and the trim tilt stopped working, it leaks from the manual release screw, can i leave the screw loose and use the tilt manually till i acn get the motor fixed? or do i have to turm the screw every time i want to tilt motor? motor is 110 with a 1 year old trim motor, it leaks from the manual screw release no matter weather it is open or closed! thank for replys

Re: trim tilt leak

When you say TnT doesn't work, can you be more specific? Does the electric motor run and no movement? Does the electric motor fail to run? <br />The seal around the manual release can be replaced with the unit in place. You might have to remove a small "C" clip then just unscrew the valve and pull it out with needle nose pliers.

Thanks for reply, the trim motor i replaced last year it runs, the leak is at the manual release screw, the screw turns and gets tight, but when i back it out it does not come out, maybe i can pull it out with needle nose like you said, what kind of a seal is in there and "o" ring?
