Model TE40ELEIA - Should be a 1991 40HP
It is a manual tilt motor and it has the lever on the side to release the motor to come up, and apparently that cylinder will give some lift assistance? We believe the cable is shot and not releasing the lock down mechanism on that assist cylinder. So...the plan is to try and loosen the cable-to-cylinder nut and hope to be able to release it manually and get the motor to come all the way up. If that works it will likely need to have the cable replaced?
We would appreciate ANY input on first getting the motor tilted up, and of course then any tips on cable replacement. I am finding two part numbers for the cable and am unsure how to know which one it actually is: 434674 and 436202 Can anyone confirm the difference or which one we need? What other parts should we order to make things go smoothly and make a better finished product? Bushings, connectors, nuts?
This forum is such a great resource and we truly appreciate ANY assistance to get my son back on the water and out of the "down in the dumps boat owner" feeling.
Thanks, John
