George,
I ordered and installed a new tilt/trim pump motor for my 1996 force(by mercury) 75 hp out board. The pump now runs; however,the outboard doesn't move. It has been out of commission for some time now and water had intruded into the housing and it looked pretty bad...(gunked up ect...) I suspect the mechanical pump itself is bad because I loosened both lines and no fluid would come out of lines( and yes I installed the correct pump shaft). The pump works, but not with any pressure--so it seems to me. Is there some check valve that can be stuck? Or should I just order a new mechanical pump? Please post or email me part number so I can order...or suggestions(ei. what do you think?)
Thanks for your expertise!!!!
