I know you did this a long time ago . But this was the best one I found on KZbin thank you

[@redfishrebel4261]

perfect video for the new year, i am removing a 1981 Evinrude 90 from an old whaler and your videos have been a huge aid. Happy New Year and thank you for the great vids!

[@osbornebay944]

I am working on a 94 Envinrude 90, it would trim up and not going down, your video is very helpful, thank you so much.

Thanks for taking the mystery out of the tilting machine actuator great job

[@LifesAdventures555]

Brandon, I have a pair of 1988 88 SPLs mounted on a 20’ Sea Ox without the tilt and trim option. Motors and boat are in great shape and I would like to install T&T units on both. Would you have a reference or source I could turn to in order to ensure I’m approaching this correctly? Thanks and I truly enjoy your work. Thanks

The movement of the piston dome is normal for that motor. The piston fit accommodates the high expansion alloy used in those pistons. That is why these motors are so noisy on cold starts and become quiet when warmed up. Hope that clears things up.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Very useful. It took the mystery out of the repair. I have to do this soon cause the motor case is rust pitted so deep it’s just a matter of time before it fails. I’m not looking forward to removing the motor screws that are Phillips head. Any tips to help prevent them from breaking off or stripping?

Just picked up a 95 90HP moving up from the smaller outboards. LOVE your videos! my motor trim went up this morning and stayed there. makes the same noise. any ideas? I just ordered shop service manual.

[@dboys100]

Thanks just made trim work

[@whitey129]

You mentioned potentially prying the transom mount apart to fit the unit out, is this doable without damage to the mount?

[@MH-ur4yu]

Hey, great video. I just picked up a 96 version of the same motor. Is it normal for it to slow down and groan like that as you lower it past the halfway mark? I'm new to power tilt but I've worked on plenty of 80's and 90's Johnsons.

[@saelee33]

I got a question. My trim on the boat stop showing the guage and stop working. Do you think the sender unit is bad?

[@BrandonsGarage]

@@saelee33 it usually is. My fix had always been to look just back at the motor.

[@cali420smoka]

I have a 2003 tohatsu 30hp..the power tilt & trim rod broke, so i have to replace whole assembly. Just wanted to know if it will be the same way to remove my unit

[@bigobetancourt7493]

Thanks for the tips .. I have the same engine it always work with no problems and just recently I notice it goes up real slow and I see no leaks no where. Any tips. Thanks.

[@BrandonsGarage]

Aftermarket motor? My pontoon engine does this too. Its cables are about to die. Put your hand on the trim motor wires while going up, see if they get hot.

[@kishidabu]

What do you do when the upper pin for the PTT seizes up? Trying to pull the power trim and tilt on my 90 Yamaha and the pin doesn't seem to want to budge. I'm afraid of whacking it too hard and mushroom the end or breaking the casing.

[@zheloz1]

I lost.one of the bushings on the rod end can’t find one anywhere can I go Without it

[@BrandonsGarage]

take the otherside out- but probably not a good idea

[@ballzybaits4414]

Is there a way to bypass the trim so it wont auto trim down while at WOT? I cant maximize my speed because I cant control the trim once WOT. :( Any advice would be awesome.

[@FernandoDIY]

wow, you took centre pin with small baby taps, I wish it was that easy mate. maybe for a new engine not 92 model

[@BrandonsGarage]

With a small ball peen hammer none the less. Sometimes you get lucky.

[@dennisshafer7696]

Ball park figure on what a job like this for a "99" 50 HP Johnson would cost.

[@BrandonsGarage]

To remove? Install? or rebuild?

[@dennisshafer7696]

I think maybe I could take it off, so just rebuild. If I can't take off then all the above.
