Yes, I saw that thread.  I'm not willing to tackle that repair by myself.  I have added oil the best that I could.

Hi Kent,
You may already know the difference here so just tell me to get lost if needed….
Outboards have trim/tilt feature built in.
The first few inches is ‘trim’ and is slower by design than ‘tilt’.
Trim is to be used while under power while tilt is not to be used under power and is only to raise LU out of danger zone/trailering.
Unless your ‘trim’ is painstakingly slow, it is functioning properly to have two ‘speeds’ of raising your motor.
Hope this helps?

Thanks Kent for keeping us up to date on mobile boat repair guys, if you don't mind, would you post the names and numbers of the 3 you found, for any other members that are in your situation? After you post them, this post will be moved to the Boat and motor forum.
