| Boy do I remember that...I had similar problems; The unit would
tilt down ok but not come up. Ajustment in two areas solved the
problem.
The first was the amount of torque used to fasten the motor (it used
the long through bolts of the motor itself) to the work gear housing.
THese should not be 'too tight'. The second, and I believe the most
crucial, was the tightness of the cover on the worm housing where the
right-angle takeoff seats. This is the 5 or 6 bolt outboard cover
with the raised center cap that forms a bearing for the end of the
right angle shaft. If I tightened that cover to spec tilt would stop
working. back it off so it is just snug and it would work again.
I ended up tightening it gradually until it stopped working then
backing off a half turn or so.
If I didnt describe it well enough give me a call and I'll try to
explain it mobeta.

Thanks, Tom-
I had the unit off- motor worked ok. BUT- I did have troble with the
cover. And I ended up adding a second gasket. IT was lots better- it
just dawned on me whatthe problem might be- Our Siamese cat was
"helping" me when I had the unit torn down. I ended up missing the
spacer or thrust washer on the end of the pinoon shaft. I had a spare
"junker" Outdrive, so I used that washer. I'll have to chech the book,
the may be selective fits abd I have one that's too thick.
Later found the washer that was missing On the helm chair. Apparenlty
my "helper" carried it up there.
I'm buried in Decworld- plan to get to ot this coming weekend.

Justc to let everybody know the results. I finally found one of the
terminals on the connector to th emtor was not crimped tightly. I
soldered it and the motor worked, but very weak- it finally got the
drive up. While I was in Fla tow weeks ago, my doughter was using the
boat and - no "up". I changed the motor- (witha spare) - same problem.
Voltages checked out good at the newly soldered connector. Finaal
tooked a close look (very hard to do because of space limitations
with the FWC heat exchanger) at the connector that had bee soldered-
it was a push- on type of blade connector. The female half was badly
corroded and the brass had lost it's tension (apparently from the heat
during previous problems). I cut the d)(&*&%# thing off and crimped on
new connectors on both wires- plugged it in and---Moves like a
turpentined cat.
My voltage checks didn't catch it because I was checing at the supply
side of the terminal and not on the mating half , because of access.
One beenfit out of all this is that now I am good at getting a motor
in and out without having the end plate/brush assembly fall out. since
the motor is loosely assembeld and not bolted together. The bolts that
hold the motor into the ghousing also hold all the pieces together.
