The manager at O'Reillys gave me an o-ring. I put it on and screwed the valve into the housing, had to give it a good push to start the threads, and filled it the reservoir with tilt/trim fluid. I hit the t/t-button one time and it started leaking again. Unscrewed the valve again, and now i had TWO o-rings! I looked at my diagram online again, and yep, only one o-ring shown.
 So i go and sit down with a beer to look at this mess for a while. After looking at the valve i discovered the o-ring O'Reillys gave me was too thick. When i screwed the valve into the housing a sharp edge at the bevel had cut the o-ring into two pieces! Destroyer, i will take one of those super deluxe, extra tough, extra special synthetic hypalon marine o-rings.  Pic below of the o-ring o'reillys gave me on the valve. Tomorrow i will pick one up at the dealer.

I'm sorry sir, we just sold out. I can order one for you. Should be here in about a month... The factory in China is on strike. Would you like me to put your name on the waiting list?

I knew it was too good to be true. Got it all buttoned up today, all bolts tightened, ran wires thru the bracket to the moot and connected it. Put the cover back on and hit the t/t button. Nothing.
Upon further investigation, one of my relay connectors has loose connections. I will cut the connector off and put spade connectors on it and call it done.

I found two variations of wrenches over the weekend. I believe they are both from some sort of angle grinder/buffer. Glad you got all buttoned up and working.
