need help please!!!
Hey guys I have a baron statesman 1800 that I have been refurbishing for the
last 3 months or so I am finally at the point of puting her in the water for the first
time but I have a problem. I cant get the tilt to work, long story short I replaced
the wiring harness on the 76 1150 mercury and controls. before the tilt buttons
were on the dash they are now on the control unit and I am unsure how to connect
I can get the pump to make noise but the motor will not trim up or down, I changed
one of the rams and lost a little bit of fluid could this be the problem or could I just have
air in the system, the wire colours on the new setup are green blue purple and the old setup
had purple blue and blue/purple with what i think is a common power or earth, the plug
from old setup that fits up to pump had three pins and my new one has only two so cant
fit it straight up, hopefully I have explained it well enough and someone can help
me I am hanging to get my baby on the water..

Changed Ram?
Was the ram a new or 2nd hand? Definately a goer?
Are the both rams full of oil?
I would check each ram individually by connecting to a battery 1st before trying anything else.
Then i would check
If the wires are reversed at switch and trying to pump inverted?
Have you bled the ram that lost fluid?
Air leak in the system?
Just a couple of options to check.
Goodluck,Hope you sort it and get out there. Reply when fixed, always good to know.

Yep air in system
Did you bleed the system to get rid of any air when you changed the ram.

I have a grub screw on the
I have a grub screw on the motor or the mount that has to be tightened to use the ram. If it is loose the leg will drop (when travelling long distances I tilt the motor, brace it and release the grub screw so the weight is on the brace and not on the ram). perhaps that grub screw hasn't been tightened?
Fish! HARD!
