Trim Up When the trim switch is activated in the “up” position, the electric motor (c) begins to rotate the pump gears (j), the oil pump draws a small amount of oil through the filter (g) and through the up circuit suction port (i). The oil pump gear (j) rotation forces oil into the pas- sages for the up circuit.

Tilt Up In the “up” mode, as the piston rod (a) extends from the cylinder (w), the memory piston (t) clears or un- covers the pressure relief passage. Oil from the up cavity will enter this passage and, if required, causes the tilt relief piston (s) to open the tilt pressure relief valve (r).

Maximum Tilt With the piston rod at maximum travel, and due to no rod movement, the pressure inside of the trim cylin- der (w) will increase to the pressure required to move the tilt relief piston (s). The tilt relief piston’s “pin” opens the tilt relief valve (r).

Down Mode When the trim switch is activated in the “down” posi- tion, the electric motor (c) will rotate the pump (j) in the opposite direction. With the pump gears rotating backwards, the flow of oil is reversed. Oil is drawn through the filter (g), through the down circuit suction port (k) and into the oil pump (j).

Shock Function Return After the engine clears the under water object, the weight of the engine will increase the oil pressure be- tween the memory piston (t) and shock piston (u) to the level required to open the shock return valve (h), inside the shock piston, allowing the oil to bleed back through the shock piston into the down cavity.

Manual Tilt To manually tilt the outboard engine, the owner will need to back out the manual release valve (p) 3-4 turns. With the valve backed out, the internal pas- sages inside the manifold are connected together. These passages connect both the cylinder down and up cavities together, along with the reservoir, allow- ing the engine to be raised or lowered.
Troubleshooting Support outboard with tilt lock pin when servicing power trim system. IMPORTANT: After debris or failed components have been found (during troubleshooting proce- dure) it is recommended that unit be disas- sembled completely and ALL O-rings be re- placed.

Slow Tilt Down Under High Thrust To tilt the engine down under high thrust conditions [where the propeller thrust forces the shock rod down, creating higher pressure below the memory piston (m)] the camshaft lever (f) is rotated slightly downward. The internal shaft connected to the lever will open the down slow transfer valve (i) allowing oil under pressure into the cavity around the shaft.

Under Water Strike With Valves Open Should the drive unit strike a submerged object while in forward motion, the shock rod (a) will extend from the tilt cylinder (l). Fluid will attempt to exit the cylinder through the interconnecting passage. The rapid fluid flow will increase the pressure below the surge valve (k), causing the valve to move, closing the oil return passage back into the accumulator (c).
