Howdy,
2006 Sundeck 270 6.2L Mercruiser Bravo 3
Sorry if I don't have my vocab right.
Please see the below image.
When motoring around today at abt 25kn/3500rpm the stern drive tilt gauge showed that tilt changed to the below image on its own. It did this a couple times today. Each time the tilt rose, I was able to get the tilt to go all the way back down using the control switch on the throttle.
I noticed a very small amount of oil in the bilge water which may or may not be related.
I also found the below washer in the bilge. I check the oil every time before using the boat and would have noticed the washer before using the boat today.
I'm guessing the problem is hydraulic related, but I'm not knowledgeable here.
Is using the boat before a mechanic looks at it likely to cause additional damage?
Thank you for taking the time to reply
