Ave Maria Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 G'day Fish Raiders, Im having issues with my Evinrude 140 HP VRO tilt & trim were once I engage on either the tilt or trim theres a delayed responce for approx 10 secs before it tilts or trims. There are no obvious signs of leaking around the seals or rams. Any advice would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Can we clarify a few points , Do you have two switches , one on the side of the motor & the other on the throttle / gear arm?? If so , does the problem occur on both switches or only one ?? If standing at the back of the boat & activating the switch on the motor does the pump motor start immediately & there is a delay in the actual pump opperating?

Check that there is enough hydraulic oil in the rams/reservoir because if there is not it will cavitate because there would be air in there,mind you , you would hear this also, & it could stuff your pump.

Testlab Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Is there a 10 second delay before the pump motor starts running, or does the pump start and it takes 10 second for the engine to start moving? You may have water in the reseviour or very low fluid level if its running but not moving. Drain, inspect and refill before cracking big dollars on fixing it.

Ave Maria Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 To clarify there is one one switch and thats on the throttle arm, The pump starts straight away although the motor dosent tilt or trim for approx 10 secs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testlab Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Its a hydraulic problem so you need to check and/or replace the fluid as mentioned above. It could be anything... a crook pump, bad seals, foaming or low fluid level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie007 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 find the two wires going from the PTT pump to the power head attach 12volts to the wires (its reversible) and see if it still stalls for 10 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
