I have a 1999, 225 HP OX66 and I have noticed something happening the last 2 times out. I leave the motor tilted all the way up when I leave for the day and the last 2 times down after the boat sat for 5 days here is what happens................I begin tilting the motor down, either from the dash switch or the switch on the motor and as soon as the engine hits the two rams it stops completely which is roughly 50% tilted down. I have to keep playing with it, up, down, up, down, etc before it will finally go down all the way. The tilt motor continues to run, I can here it, it just seems to not be strong enough to pull the motor down once it hits those steel rams. When it was working properly, the tilt down was rather quick, until it hits those rams, then it's a slow speed tilt the rest of the way. That area of slow speed tilt from roughly 50% down and then the rest of the way down seems to be getting more and more difficult. Any suggestions? It was fine all year until the last 2 weeks. Once it goes all the way down, it's fine the rest of the day.
