  • Tilt valve assy. blowing out when tilting down

    1984 Yamaha 90 trim/tilt blowing out valve assembly and snap ring when tilting down. It was fine one minute and not the next. Anybody seen this before?
    90 Yami on a 16' Sea-N-Sport. Rides smooth as silk when the water turns to a sheet of glass.

    No I haven't. The manual release valve is threaded as well as having the snap ring, unless housing or valve is severly worn not sure how it would blow out.

      figgered it out

      The trim and tilt was low on fluid and got "air locked". I filled it, capped it, lowered it by hand, raised it by hand, repeated and then it began working. Had a trim cylinder leaking, rebuilt that and all is well now.
