Having a problem getting the BULLET adjusted correctly on the release mechanism. With unit down and latched bullet is just sticking out which is fine. With Unit up bullet sticks out so far that due to angle of the bullet and the shaft for the tilt it shears the bullet. Not sure how to fix this and Bullets are getting expensive! |

Appreciate the info EL but perhaps I didn't explain myself very well. The unit locks in the down position just fine and releases. The problem I am having is that the bullet when the leg is in the raised position sticks out to far. I have screwed the bullet down as far as I can so that the release still works when the leg is down. Hope this helps clarify. IfI am missing something by your previous post let me know. |

Larry, I hear you but honestly I cannot visualize what your problem is. The release mechanism requires an adjustment; i.e. what you call "the bullet" has to protrude about 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. Once you get it adjusted, you tighten the lock nut 46B below the sleeve 47 (what you call "bullet"). This is clearly explained in the Seloc manual and also in the online manual in the above link. If you still cannot get the reverse pawl released, my guess is that either the rod 46 is bent out of shape or the pawl needs overhaul (or something has been incorrectly assembled).

The bullet is protuding thru the housing about 1.0 mm in the down and locked position. It appears the leg is being tilted out/up so far out that the Tilt Shaft Rod no longer is over the hole for the bullet and the bullet then comes out too far. With the leg in the raised position the bullet sticks out about 1/4 to 3/8". I can't see why in the down and locked position the bullet is good but when the leg is up the bullet travels further. |

I will tommorow. As the leg comes up the housing is rolling so far that Bullet pops back out . I think the rod for the lift is tilting the leg up to far which in turm goes past the hole where the bullet is! |

Do you have the rubber cushion installed? That's part 40.

Either that or something wrong with the lifting mechanism alignment/arrangement are my guesses at this time. |

Pictures were not clear enough to post. I will keep trying to find a way to send illustration of problem! |

Larry, after looking at your e-mail, I think the lifting device could be missing the pressure plate (part 8 in the link). Is that the case?

I am sorry to say no that piece is there. As the leg comes up, the housing (with the bullet in it) rotates past the hole which in turn allows the bullet to protrude out and then the pressure plate is at about a 45% angle to the bullet and when lowered and the pressure plate slides along the housing the pressure plate does not press directly on the top of the bullet but on the corner or side because it is sticking out farther than it should. But keep in mind when in the loced position the bullet is sticking out the right distance. Hope this helps. |

OK Larry, let's try this again.
The first link I gave you at the beginning of this discussion
http://www.marineengine.com/discus/messages/12487/86659.shtml
should take you to a thread where the adjustment of the sleeve (or "bullet" as you call it) is explained. On that discussion, I gave another link
http://www.mybayliner.co.uk/boatmad/280285290.pdf
referring you to an online manual for the outdrive,a nd I further mentioned on that thread that the procedure for adjusting the "bullet" is on page 127 of that manual. If you follow those instructions, the lock nut should prevent the sleeve from protruding as much as you claim it is doing.
Now my question is: have you followed that procedure as indicated in the first link I gave you? If you did, I honestly cannot see how your "bullet" is protruding as much as you say it does or how can damage occur; unless the lock nut is not there or the nut is so small that slides through the hole in the fork.
Here is how mine looks:

I re-did all the adjusments again! It seems to be ok now. Worked on the boat all winter and finally took it out. Last year lots of mechanical/elec problems. Now the boat is running good I am just not sure of the prop. The boat is a 1979 Bayliner Admirality with a AQ140 and a 270 leg. At WOT the rpms is 4200 and indicating 20 MPH. Is it possible to gain more top end speed and give up a little less pulling power. The prop on there now is a 14X19. Any suggestions would be great! |

Glad to see you are fixing the problems one at the time. 
Regarding the low RPM, your engine should do a minimum of 4500 RPM at WOT. You may want to try a 14" x 17"; or if you are more concerned about thrust that about speed, a 15 x 15 should also work.
How long is your boat? |

I had a 17.5 boat with your same power plant (AQ140/270) and trim tabs. With a 15" x 15" cupped, it would do close to 24 knots at 4600 RPM. |
