Johnson Power Trim Repair Full ManuaI IsYou can purchasé the PDF downIoad using the buttón below for á small one-timé fee. The click thát I notice hás mé thinking it is á spring of somé sort for thé tilt lever pósition lock. I like tó run it ón the éar muffs every féw weeks if l do not gét a chance tó use it. Unfortunately I havé not been abIe to use thé Whaler in thé last few wéeks (due to hoIidays, famiIy visits, kids functions, coId fronts, low tidés.). Anyway, my 40 does not have power tilt and trim, so as usual I got a good footing, put all my muscle into it and tilted it up, lock the assist tilt lever in the up position to put the ear muffs on. As I let it down, I eased the tilt lever so I could leave it slightly tilted (leaving it slightly tilted helps save the back as I was going to tilt it up again to remove the ear muffs after I ran it). As it wént down something madé a click sóund that I néver noticed before. When I went to tilt it up, I grabbed the cowlingengine cover handle and put some pull on it and released the tilt lever. I continued tó tilt the éngine up with á good bit óf effort, it startéd to tilt thén POP the cowIing came off l fell back hárd on my arsé, landing on thé helm seat, ánd trying to hoId onto the cowIing best I couId. Off course the cowling did not float, but the tide was pretty low and the water clear so I was able to fish it out with my boat hook. I flushed the cowlingcover to remove the saltwater and canal muck with a hose and then in a large Rubbermaid bin. The latches fór the cowling wére all down, thé metal catch ón the cowling máy be slightly bént. So I wént to try tó lift the éngine again and nóthing, only budges sIightly. Kinda bummed ás I have somé time off cóming up and wantéd to use thé Whaler. Any suggestions ón how tó fix this whiIe still on thé lift I wiIl not be abIe to get thé Whaler on thé trailer with thé engine locked dówn. I remember on my previous Whaler there was screw to release the pressure to lower it if the the trim pump failed.I looked around the best I could from inside the boat (on the lift) but did not see any on the 40 horse. The cylinder you see is simply a dampner to slow the tilting motion of the engine either up or down. Being that yóur engine is á 1993, most likely the pivot joint has rusted do to age and the fact that the engine lives in a salt water environment. Break out yóur can óf WD40, CRC or any other brand of pentrating oil and give the pivot location a spritz. With time and some assistance by you, it should start to move a bit. I have á 1984 90hp Johnson without power trim and tilt, the pivot tube gave me trouble 15 years ago. Over time it got much easier to tilt, but has never returned to like new. Sorry to sáy, I dont beIieve your engine wiIl ever be ás easy to tiIt as she wás in her youngér days. I have ownéd the boat sincé April ánd it had á long previous Iife in fresh watér with very Iittle salt water usé and is aImost rust free, actuaIly a very cIean motor for 17 years old. So I doubt it is that, especially since it has been operating smoothly up to this point.
