2. Check for external leaks in the manual tilt system. Replace defective part(s) if leak is
found.
IMPORTANT: If cut or damaged O-rings are found, inspect machined surfaces for
scoring, burrs or debris.
3. Check for discharged accumulator. 35 to 50 lb-ft (47-68 Nm) of pulling force must be at-
tained when tilting outboard from full "down" to full "up" position. If more than 50 lb-ft (68
Nm) of force is required, replace accumulator.
