Took her out with the familly for the first time. Of course everything worked great !! NOT. The tilt would not come up at the first beach. After a couple of tries I just heard the motor running. Oh well, we still had a good time. Did some tubing behind and all ran good. Little challenging getting on to the trailer. Got to get some side rails to take care of cross winds and not put the trailer in so deep. We were doing some swimming so I snapped a couple of photos with her on the beach. Even beached, the lower unit was still just clear of the bottom.
So got home and pulled apart the tilt mechanisim. Discovered that the tilt worm shaft is broken. BTW, if you need parts for the OMC Stringer Stern drives you have to check out Crowley Marine. They have online diagrams and access to Bombardie's catalog for factory support.
