If I could have found a S/S tilt tube I would have put one in, not sure why they didn't make them all out of S/S, makes more sense. When you slide the tilt tube out, the engine might drop a bit, you might have to use a large screw driver to wiggle the motor so the tube slides back in, be careful as when "I" tapped it in with a hammer a plastic bushing broke, so I replaced both. I hope I never have to do THIS again.
