Exactly what I needed to know with the removal of the pin that holds the other pin holding the hydraulic lift arm.

[@KMLTimesTwo]

Glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know!

[@nhjonesy]

Good work man, you may have saved me a ton. After watching you I feel more confident that I can remove my own without a problem. Although, if anyone is going to find a problem, it will be me, or I'll almost surely create new ones!

[@KMLTimesTwo]

Schyler Jones go ahead and give it a shot. it wasn't that hard. Just take your time and you will get it. good luck!

[@nhjonesy]

It came off just like you said, and now it's at a hydraulic repair shop who completely disassembled the unit right there in front of me. The guy was very informative with how the thing worked and confirmed that the problem was with a "plug," one of like 3 maybe 4 (only one popped out). He tapped the hole, and while getting a 1/16 pipe plug has been a challenge, he'll have one Monday. Can't believe these units sell for $1,100 new and $500 used!

[@KMLTimesTwo]

The prices of them are CRAZY. Glad the video helped!

Tip of the day is disconnect the power from the motor if you got a rectifier issue with mercury motors I did not know that if I ever get one I will always disconnect power thank you for the information

[@KMLTimesTwo]

Not sure if this is the same thing you are referring to, but I had this motor almost catch on fire when in my garage. I think it was the rectifier. It burned up several wires.

[@samtate1260]

KMLTimesTwo you are the second person I herd that from motor catching on fire because rectifier they think also I am getting a shut off switch so no power goes anywhere just to be safe

[@BorossAngkor]

I got the same problem, bot not that rusted. I need to check the oil to see if that fix it.

[@danebrown5891]

You can buy just that motor thats rusted. Pull those 4 bolts and put the new one on. There was absolutely no reason to touch anything else. That should have been a 10min job lol

[@KMLTimesTwo]

I replaced it in part 2 I think.

[@lesfaust9634]

I was just wondering the same thing,,,can't you just take the motor off with the tilt mechanism on..looks like only 4 bolts

[@sonnymumford2750]

righty tighty, lefty loosey

[@KMLTimesTwo]

I have to say that in my head ALLLL the time!

[@mcplutt]

@@KMLTimesTwo First time wrenching? :-)

[@KMLTimesTwo]

@@mcplutt maybe 2nd or 3rd. ;-)

[@giloquendo]

You tighten the screw bro

[@ytentertainment4466]

If anyone can help me I just got a 1993 sea nymph cc171 the trim pump has water in it but I have more questions if anyone could answer

[@KMLTimesTwo]

I am not mechanic, but you might want to try to change out the fluid and see how long it last before water gets in. If the ram is pitted, it mess up the seals. Maybe research how hard it would be to replace any seals that it has.

[@mcplutt]

Why did you brake the screw?

[@KMLTimesTwo]

Don't remember that I broke one, but I have broken my share of bolts in the past...it happens.

[@alexandertoussaint5742]

How do I add a motor motor for a 1996 horsepower show me how do I write please

[@KMLTimesTwo]

Hi Alex. I don't have experience in that motor. Sorry.

[@alexandertoussaint5742]

@@KMLTimesTwo I did it everything working

[@KMLTimesTwo]

@@alexandertoussaint5742 that is awesome!!! Hope it runs great for you.

[@txman201]

What a cluster of how not to do maintenance on an outboard.

[@KMLTimesTwo]

txman201 thanks for watching and your comment. If you want to share a link of a better example of what you are talking about, please do. I think that would be helpful.
