    The world has made it impossible to buy a longer tube. I'm pulling this one and having one made. No other options have been presented here

    Ok I think the cheapest route is to remove the tube and measure it. The steering will work once the tube is a proper length. I'll update once it's in the water.

    I'm so close and yet so far. Make this tilt trim unit work or replace?

    A little research shows I can just replace the tilt tube or the transom swivel itself. Have no idea how I would size a tube for this

    The tube is there, the bolt was keeping junk out of it. However, the tube seems to be backwards in the motor, as the longer threaded side is opposite where the steering cable enters. It also doesn't seem to be long enough. What are my options here?

    Ok I ran this thing on muffs. It started almost instantly. How does the steering rod connect to the engine?

    Got the bastard almost going. Found a bad starter solenoid and a bad rectifier during testing. Will let you know what happens. Replaced the key switch and fixed all bad wiring according to the diagrams. I think it'll be pretty good once it's going.

    Another issue. The motor works. I drained the unit, removed the lower line and blasted air through the fill hole to clean it out. I have refilled with hydraulic oil, ran it up and down a few times. I can't seem to get it to work properly. It was going up fine but not down, I loosened a release...

    I seem to be missing the little fun on the bottom of the foot with the marks on it. What is this called?

    Ordered the choke plunger and spark plugs. Going to order the missing linkage pieces and see about the controls

    Good point but I already did! Just need someone with good eyes to tell me what I'm missing.
