I have a 1977 OMC. (1) I guess it's a stringer as the engine mounts to a stringer in the boat. Is my assumtion correct? (2) this is my first I/O so it's all new to me. (3) also my first attempt asking questions on line so I'm pretty confused as far as the how to and where to so please forgive me if I'm in the wrong place or sumptin.
(4) NOW FOR THE PROBLEM......my tilt goes up real slow then slams down so I have to "feather" down with a bunch of little clicks on the down switch. Tilt Motor seems to work but it really appears to be working hard to lift the motor. I'd sure like to know whats wrong as the fish are biteing like crazy and I'm setting at home on my thumb fearfull I'll really damage something if I use it, and the local repair shops are way beyond my budget. (probably the same for most people on this site.) !!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!
Thanx a lot
