My 2011 Honda 30hp on my log puller tilt is leaking down in about 4 days. The engine has about 250 hours and there is no hydraulic fluid showing around a leak. I assume there must be a seal that is leaking by in the cylinder. Has anyone had this issue and is it a repair to tackle?

There is a bypass screw on the left side of the pump(for lowering if no elect. power) make sure that is tight.
Some times a ck valve (internal) will get a piece of debris in it & not seal well. I would get the book out, drain all the oil out into a clean container & look for paint flakes or something that is not clean hyd oil. Refill with clean oil as per the manual. run it up & down a bunch & repeat, see if that wont cure it/flush it out.

Have a good one :wink:
 
Thanks for the info. and I shall do this as soon as I take the boat back to the water. I am up for the winter with battery off etc.

I’ve never heard of a “log puller tilt”, is it a particular style of tilt mechanism?
 
Sorry for the poor wording in my post. The tilt is the engine tilt on the engine on a modified pontoon used for pulling logs out of our subdivision waterways.
