Hello,
I've found I'm leaking a slight amount of oil from my tilt cylinder (I can see it coming out of from between the dust seal and rod when the rod is cycled around the fully extended point). Its not major but I imagine it will get worse. I should also note that my rod itself looks to be in good condition, no pitting or scratches and that my tilt still has full motion and doesn't sag during when left unattended. I've been browsing the usual forums and think I have an idea about which parts are required and the actual steps to perform but I'm hoping this post will clear things up further.
It sounds like I can remove inner tilt rod assembly from the cylinder if the motor is tilted all the way up without removing the motor, pump housing and cylinder assembly. Tilt up the motor, engage the tilt lock, pop the upper rod pin out and then break the outer cylinder end cap loose with the spanner wrench, swing the tilt assembly away from the transom then remove the tilt rod assembly. Can someone confirm if this is possible, and if so if the motor needs to be tilted further up than the tilt lock (i.e. sling or jack) for removal clearance?
After the tilt rod assembly is removed I'm a bit fuzzy. The manual I have makes it seem like the entire thing must be disassembled to get at the offending parts (items 9, 11, & 12? here 2000 F100TLRY Yamaha Outboard POWER TRIM & TILT ASSEMBLY 1 Diagram and Parts)
Is this actually required to address the leak I have or is there some way to avoid small springs, balls, seals and pistons everywhere? I sure wish the top rod bushing was removable (maybe it is?)
Last comment is do any items in addition to one pc of item 9, 11 and 12 need to be replaced to address my problem or as a result of the disassembly? Perhaps items 10 and a second pc of both item 11 & 12?
If I get some help and mange to pull this off I'll be happy to make a step by step with pictures post in hopes of helping others in the future.
Cheers,
Colin
