Hi,
Just noticed today the tilt / trim on my Evinrude 1977 70HP is leaking oil from the port side hydraulic cyclinder. I have had a closer look at it and found there is a whole around 3/4 of the way down the cylinder where something plugged the hole. When you tilt the outboard up or down the oil gushes out of it. I noticed there is some sort of electrical connector which maybe part of some trim gauge. I have tried numorous bolts to block the whole but they dont seem to fit / work. Does anyone know what i can do to plug this hole? I don't have an option to insert pic in this post. Thanks. Majed. -------------------- FISHING beats Working

it sounds more like this hole may be an overflow if something in the ram is blown like a seal?
I am no expert though? |

I am assuming you are talking about a small hole (maybe a few mm diameter) near the top end of the ram?

Its a small hole at the 3/4 of the way down the cylinder on the left side.
I can't post the pics as there is no option on my menu to do so. -------------------- FISHING beats Working

OK you guys you have the option to post Attachments I haven't tried it out yet personally but a better option for you now may be to open this URL http://reg.imageshack.us/ Upload the pic there & either use IMG option or just post direct link that way file wont be reduced in size by attachment option & will be easier to view. While I'm @ it here's a pic of both option on this site

Hey Majed
does it have a thread at the hole was there any bolt / screw there befor it looks like the filler hole for hydrolic oil and you are missing the screw and it has an O ring or teflon washer to seal. Frankly it cant be anything else. there is only fill up hole . get the right one {dealer or wrecker} YOU DONT WANT TO STUFF THE THREAD UP. cheers steve -------------------- Goony Googoo

The filler hole is on the starboard side cylinder. Someone told me that that is where the mechanism for a possibly trim gauge sensor connects, but mine was disconnected as i have no gauge. So whateever was plugging the hole has gone missing. I'll try Alan at Picnic Point and see if he has any.

Majed just thought of this there should be a hydrolic line{ Metal} going from that side to the bottom of Ram just look see if there is a line broken . -------------------- Goony Googoo

Majed water is getting into the oil.
Not good & you definately have a leak & should be attended to right away 1st thing I'd be doing is finding fixing the leak Then flush out the system to remove all traces of water in other words get rid of all the old fluid flush then add new fluid. Dont just keep topping up long term even though there's oil in there the water factor has to be elliminated. -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Majed, looking at your whole tilt/trim assembly from the rear you should see the following components from left to right (port to starboard)
1) Hydraulic pump, it will have an electrical connection to it. 2) Port trim ram. 3) Tilt ram, it's taller than the trim rams. 4) Starboard trim ram. 5) Hydraulic reservoir. Where is this hole? My money is on the reservoir. (Fill hole) -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |
