Kinda late for this excellent video. However, as it's really a timeless video, had to see how the lower 2 rams operated and were repaired. BTW, we just got through repairing the Tilt Unit Motor of a 130hp Honda [gunk inside holding the brushes from contacting the rotor] and needed the extra knowledge to work on those rams. What better time to work on the rams than when we have the whole unit on the table. Great stuff guys. . . it really helped! A heartfelt THANK YOU!

Thank you for the great work you are doing! I've been watching all of your videos in the last few years. I have a Yamaha F40 4t for 10 years now. Lately the engine is coming down slowly over night/after few hours. I see no oil leakage, I checked the power trim oil level and everything seems normal. The screw to manually trim the motor is ok as well. I read somewhere that "If no leaks are found, it also could have been a cylinder bypassing internally"... Since I live in a small Greek island where no mechanical issues can be dealt with, can you tell me if you have a video about this specific problem? Thanks again!

Thanks a ton for your videos. I found a cap wrench option at Marine Tech tools. My caps were stuck and I ended up breaking a couple of pins, but finally got them off. Replacement pins were cheap.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Awesome! Congrats on getting them off, sometimes they can be a nightmare, especially when you start breaking pins :)

Just what I needed! Thank you!

[@rogerreed9768]

This would be a good time to change to o-ring and teflon backup as well, you have it apart and installing fresh fluid. Just saying, it's your video and again good job doing this.

[@yoaquaman]

I've got a 2000 Merc 250 EFI on a same year 23' Mako. Been working on it with my son. Great father son time. Since we're on a budget, trying to get the most of what we have. I have a question on replacing the manual pressure relief or manual tilt relief or manual tilt valve, whatever its called. I had to drill mine out to tilt the motor. To replace it, do I have to remove the trim and tilt motor, or can it be replaced with TnT motor in place? It looks like there is just a c clip (or banjo clip) holding it in place, as the head has complete disintegrated.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Awesome! Thank you, hopefully it is a simple leak :)

[@kristoffscuba5466]

Great video. I made a tool for removing the caps by using a small piece of scrap steel plate and drilling four holes in the correct place. Then simply put bolts through that fit snugly in the holes in the cap. A central hole with a larger bolt facing the other way and double nuts on it, allowed me to get a spanner on to turn it. Worked great.

[@BornAgainBoating]

That's a great idea!

I guess I may need an air hammer cause the holes on my tilt end caps have been damaged. Drilling new holes was suggested but thinking the air hammer may be a better solution.

[@markc4921]

Man this video was so helpful! Thank You! Mine is leaking between the transom and t/t. So I guess I'm going to have to pull the whole t/t off to get to the screw. Enjoyed the video.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Awesome, thank you! Ouch that doesn't sound good. Yeah, you'll have to pull the unit out and check it out. If it's leaking from the back like that, the unit might be cracked in the back :(

Very good video! I have a question, at 3:12 you leave the engine on the kickstand and use the hydraulics down to suck the rams back into the cylinders. How can I be sure those little kickstands will be able to not break under all that pressure? Do you have to have the rams all the way into the cylinders to perform this? Thank you in advance for a reply!

If you can’t get the screw loose , use a chisel with the correct size wrench or vise grips , if that doesn’t work use an impact driver or have somebody tap on the chisel while turning

I have a 1990 Yamaha 40 up 2 stroke. The tilt/trim goes up just fine but leaks down immediately I don’t see fluid leaking around shafts but I don’t know where on this old thing to check and see if it has any fluid in ? It’s a single cylinder tilt trim unit any info would be helpful. Update the emergency screw on the side was stripped out and turned full opened unfortunately it was to far gone to replace so got a used tilt/trim and it works great now

Watched several of your how to videos. I really enjoy them. Learned quite a bit from them. Any how. I have a 2012 Yamaha 90hp and I'm experiencing tilt issues that you may or may not have covered. When I depress the tilt button on the motor there is a clicking noise coming from the relay. Both up and down. I'm getting the same sound when I use the remote switch. I'm not sure if the tilt relay is bad or the pump motor. I ran a jumper wire from the battery to the blue wire and nothing happened. No click or whirl from the motor. Have you any suggestions as to what I should do next?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you! You need to put power and ground to the green and blue at the same time, otherwise it won't work :/ check out todays video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ommTgIZseNqGmqs

I have a pair of low hour 2008 df250's. I live in a remote part of scotland. I used your videos to help me maintain them. I had to replace the lower hinge pin and seals on one of the lower ptt rams. Now when I tilt that motor down from the fully up position, just before it transitions from the tilt ram to the trim rams, it bounces a few times. I have fully cycled the ptt unit dozens of times and topped up with ATF. Any clue as to what is wrong?

I really enjoy your how-to videos. Have a question concerning an issue with the trim tilt on a 2012 90hp Yamaha motor. I'm getting a clicking sound from the relay but no motor sound. I ran a wire directly to the battery and no motor. Is it safe to say that the motor is frozen or still possibly the relay bad?

[@wazup3333]

You can try wiring 2 or 3 12v batteries in series to create 24/36 volts and directly connect it to the motor, the temporary voltage shock can unfreeze the motor

How to unstick a lower unit skeg on a older Yamaha 150 2 cycle motor. I can only pry it one half inch and it stays stuck. I assume my drive shaft spindles are rusted and stuck. I saw a video of a guy using wood shims but my narrow side of the skeg barely opens up to stick even a screw driver in . Since it is aluminum I gotta be careful when prying. Any Ideas? I saw a guy flip over his motor and put Gunk degreaser down the spline and let it sit for two days to get it to release.
