I just ran the motor for its breakin period. As i brought the boat (14ft tinny) to plane I started porpoising.
The tilt pins on a electric tilt motor wont come out as the ram is in the way?? Do i have to dismantle the tilt motor just to adjust the pins?
Thanks Cdublu
 
The motor itself should have no bearing on the position of the tilt cylinder. All it does is supply hydraulic fluid to and from the cylinder when the motor is not running.

Is the tilt cylinder retracted fully downward when you go get onto plane?

What do you mean by tilt pins? Do you have a reference to these parts in a parts catalog?
 
The stops that the motor hits when set to the lowest setting. With a manual tilt motor you have a rod that goes straight through but on the electric tilt i believe they have a stop pin on each side.
 
You are correct. A manual tilt motor may use a pin (through holes in the clamp brackets) so as to position the motor at some given point.

The F20LPHA/F20SPHA does not use a pin. When the motor is powered down via use of the power tilt system the motor goes down as far as it can.
 
I will check again as there is a stud in each side in the holes for the clamp bracket that the motor stops at, restricting the lowest setting of the motor. At least that how it looks.
 
Those bolts are not intended to be adjusted like a pin is on the manual tilt model. The brackets for the manual tilt model are completely different from the brackets for the hydraulic tilt model.

You can always remove the tilt assembly to re-position the two bolts to see if it makes the situation any better.
I would try some other things first. Moving weight forward being the first. Adding a hydrofoil being the second. Adding transom wedges being the third.
