That saves time having to cross reference the part number to diagram number when your hands are all greasy and dirty. Now you have fathers day free tomorrow, I hope you have a great day Stu.

Great vid, Stu. My old 7.5 Merc outboard has had a wonky tilt/troll mechanism for some time and the thought of trying to make heads or tails of all those fiddly bits n pieces has had me procrastinating on a fix. Your detailed explanation has given me a bit of courage to dig in. My system is slightly different in that the actuator handle is accessed on the front of the motor between and above the transom clamps. I'm willing to bet though that most of the moving bits further down are very similar. Right off I see my issue may be that nylon bushing up inside has perhaps just worn out, sending everything out of alignment a bit and preventing smooth rotation. Thanks again!

I have one of these on my Evinrude 48 SPL. It uses a gas charged hydraulic cylinder (like a big shock absorber ) It no longer seems to have a sufficient gas charge within. It doesn't provide the "assist" like it's supposed to. I bought a used one on eBay, I heard they corrode at the pin and can be a pain to remove. I guess I'll be breaking out the oxy acetylene rig! Lots of parts on this one Stu. I hope you had a well deserved beer after this job!

Hi Jack. We've had a few of those style through on Yamahas too. It's a clever idea, but as you say, once they lose their charge they don't do anything. Time to get the big red wrench out again! ;)

I sure got quite the surprise one day when I was using someone's boat and needed to back up a bit. Not very funny as it's happening, but it's funny now, especially when seeing someone else going through the same experience. Thanks for the insight into the replacement of such an overlooked component. Great to know that Marine Engine dot com has such good quality diagrams to help identify the correct parts, and help people figure out the orientation of such parts when trying to install them. Spring must be upon you finally. How was your winter? We had one of the coolest (and somewhat wet) summers I can remember in years. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.

Thanks, great video! When we tilt down the engine, the stand is not entering / locking in to the upper grooves/tilt positions, and when i move the stand back and forth by hand, there is some friction and I suspect it does not move as freely as it should. I have been looking for a grease nipple to lube the stand, but to no avail. Would it make sense to remove the stand to lube the axle/bushing or should I take a closer look at the springs etc?

Hey Stu - thanks so much for your videos. I fitted my 30Tohatsu including new tilt tube and steering all off the videos you have shared. Much appreciated ! I was wondering - for trailering a motor like this, would resting on the 'shallow running' stand be ok? I.e. would the motor be at risk of bouncing up and coming off that stand, dropping the motor towards the road suddenly? Or, with the stand, is it locked and secure?

I have the newer version of this motor and i has almost the same exact bracket etc. My question is: When you put the motor in forward gear it should release the locking mechanism automatically? This would prevent the motor from breaking if you hit something like a log or underwater obstacle. When you put it in reverse the mechanism should automatically lock the motor so it doesn't shoot up when going in reverse? Mine doesn't do this when shifting. The only way for me to unlock / lock the motor is to it manually using that lever in your video. This doesn't seem right to me. If someone new was driving the boat and they forget to unlock or lock the motor then bad things could happen.

Question from a novice, how do you know what is the best setting for the outboard to be angled at when deep running?. I noticed the main stopping bar was set at the outer most hole away from the stern of the boat.
@DangarMarine6 жыл бұрын
It mostly has to do with how the hull rides in the water. You don't want the bow bouncing up and down (called porpoising), and this happens when it is trimmed to high. By the same token you don't want the bow digging into the water if it is trimmed to far down. If it is trimmed to high you may also hear the prop sucking air in.
