For what it’s worth, I found the instructions on ebay. I haven’t purchased them as the $16 asked seems a little high, but the first page can be read:
The main thing I got out of them was the call for a 5/8″ bolt back through the transom into the bracket. I suppose this is to keep the upward push of the tilt from trying to pop the motor out of the mounting clamps used in those days. I didn’t follow the instructions exactly as I didn’t feel like dismounting the motor, but I drilled the transom and installed two 3/8″ carriage bolts.
The instructions also say it’s OK to remove the latch hardware.
Draining the pump yielded about 125 cc of brownish fluid. I changed it twice for synthetic ATF.
I used a 20 amp fuse as that what what the previous owner used.
The motor does go up and down smoothly, but of course it’s only a tilt, not a tilt/trim. I can post pics if anybody is interested.
