good video I have my evinrude etec 90 hp that the trim is lowered only that it is failing

Hi, thanks for the feedback.. could be air in the system or springs in the little gromets at the bottom of the cylinder missing on one side. Worth looking at the oil first.

Great video; what is the torque setting for the piston rod nut? I think that your spanner wrench build for the cap was a fantastic idea.

many thanks. Ill have to check my manual as forgot the torque setting.

Great Video. I replaced my trim motor on my johnson 50hp. I topped up & bled the system but it doesn't go down with the weight of the engine on it. If I bench test it without the weight of the engine it goes up and down fine. It's not electrical related as I connected it directly to a battery. Have any idea what may be causing this? Thanks

Hi Mate. a few things to look at on this one. If it goes down without the weight of the engine but not when you have the engine on it, i would check the simple things first like the manual stopper that holds the engine up. This might be loose and falling back into lock position as soon as the engine is high enough. If its all clear of obstructions, then its worth going through the proces of filling to try and get more oil in or maybe lose some. Raise the engine and lock with manual lock lever, Remove the bottom long pin that holds the whole mechanism in place. once its swings out, you can get to the bleed screw, remove this and the level of the oil should be level with the fill hole. it also allows any air that has worked its way out to be released. you may have over filled it. If that has not worked, you may have replaced the bottom valves the wrong way around. in my video, i didnt have a spring for one side which means it lets the oil out but without the spring, the oil runs back into the cylinder which measn my engine can lift when im in reverse. Ill need to get one. Bit of a long reply but hope it helps. here is a link showing the assembly. Its the poppet shown starting with part numbers 13 www.crowleymarine.com/johnson-evinrude/parts/49446.cfm?mdl=DYXMV9

I have 19 89 50 horsepower Evinrude it looks same as yours do you know how to add fluid when I open the bottom plug it all comes out that's the only plug I see. Help

[@allkindsaprojects]

Hi mate, you need to take the bottom large pin out if its on your engine and its on the side. i was sure this video shows me filling it up. its a bit fiddly. i will do an upload soon which includes it. i have been so busy i need to get back on it.
