Question
I have a 90 bayliner and a A 90 Force engine I want to put on but I do not have a wiring diagram. I was wondering if you can give me some help on hooking it up. and the tilt doesn't go all the way up the motor would run but the engine doesn't raise up can you tell me what could be the problem I really appriciated...

Answer
Jon, you really need to get a service manual. It will have all the wiring diagrams you will need along with complete rigging directions. It is beyond the scope of this site to be able to cover what is covered in chapters in a service manual. I would be glad to answer any specific questions I can.
As for the trim, make sure the reservoir is full of the proper trim fluid. Other that that can you give me details on exactly it is or isn't doing?
