  • 79 Johnson 140 Tilt/Trim Problem

    We have 79 Johnson 140 outboard that will not stay trimmed up. I have tried refilling the fluid and bleeding it out by moving the motor up & down topping off the fluid multiple times. Sometimes the motor stays up for 12+hours but it always falls back down. From what i've read maybe it needs new seals?

    Can the seals be replaced with the motor on the boat?
    Can anyone point me towards a instructions? I have seen videos of other motors but cannot seem to find anything this old.

    Thanks for looking!

    PT&T unit would need to be removed. It could be relief valves or valve seats, main valves or orings leaking. Carefully check all parts are available before disassemble so make leak worse because can't get parts.
