I just found you this week. Hands down the most common sense, easy to understand, simple videos I’ve watched on motor repair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you!
I have to agree! I've been binging your videos for past two days
Doing this right now on my 90 Etec. I bought the same tool from Marine tech. These older Evinrude are getting more and more expensive. Mine is a 2005 with probably 2000 hours. Runs like a top though. The seals only seem to last 4 years on the rebuild. This is my second time doing it. Evinrude says use the biodegradable fluid. But I have read the atf is a better option. Great and timely video.
I'm gonna do mine for general maintenance real soon. Brotha, have been literally waiting to see you post a video like this so I can do my trim service, I already spent good money on quality trim and steering ram tools so I can do these services, you'll never know how much I appreciate these videos, I'd love to stop in and see ya one day on my way to Cudjoe and show off my Evinrude FICHT 2 smokes, you may be working on a Yamaha but the concepts are all the same, thank you so much.
Thank you, I’ve been needing to do this project for 6 months. All other videos on go into depth on the singular ram. Especially on this model of engine. I have the same engine and all parts look identical. Thanks for keeping it simple
I need to do my trim seals toon. On the topic of one of your other videos, I had great success with flushing the engine using Rydlyme and a bilge pump, recirculating it. The crud that came out of my motor was crazy. It runs so nicely now with cleaned thermostats, new impeller and a thorough cleaning.
I'm glad the video was a help to you!
Only 5 minutes into the video and I clicked like and subscribe. No boring intro. No back story. No annoying background music.
Thanks for the sub!
What a great video!!! I have a leak, just slightly. On a Suzuki 300. Have to imagine it’s a similar setup minus gaskets & breaker tool thing. Rock on Born again.
Thanks for this video! Excellent no nonsense stuff! I am in the process of doing the same work on my engine and will be posting a video shortly with couple of more tricks and tips on how to do the removal of the caps if they are really stuck!
With me watching your video 5 times and having a follow along while I did it, everthing went really well. Thank you very much for info laid out perfectly
Glad you got it fixed up!
Thank you for this video! I ordered new ram caps with seals, and the seal/o-ring kit and I rebuilt/installed them on my 06 Yamaha f225 . Refilled, and no more leaking and works flawlessly. Thanks again!
I have this same motor and am doing a lot of the same stuff you are. Your videos are a lifesaver. This is the first Yamaha 90 2 stroke I've owned & it's such a rock solid motor I'm kind of astounded. Gonna look for a new old stock to replace it instead of a 4 stroke too.
Great to hear!
@@BornAgainBoating there's a good chance my tilt & trim has water in it. I'm concerned that i might find some corrosion inside the pistons. You mentioned that not a lot truly goes bad on these...but I'm curious...what would give you pause on the internals apart from what you mentioned about the rams being knicked?
Gday mate another fantastic how to video you make it look easy i watched another video sfrom another you tuber and what he did to make sure he didn't slip when using the cap spanner was lower the leg onto a piece of poly tube on to of the spanner itself to stop it flicking out as you tried to undo the caps as you well know some can be a pain in the butt to get loose , ut you have provided many people with the knowledge to "have a go" at diy trim seals take care .
For my tilt and trim, I just push the up button and then making a humming sound with my mouth while I grab the lower with my hands and lift it up to the height I want. I then slap a tire iron in there to hold it in place.
Hahahahhah yes, sounds like the special effects FX is on point! lol
Fantastic information! I managed to do the trim seals on my F250 but I wasn't able to get the tilt seal off using the junk tool I got on Amazon, all of the tabs broke. I'm going to get the Marine Tech tool and give it another shot before I bring out the air hammer.
Great job.
On an older unit like that I would do all the wipers and o rings also and flush the bottom for debris. It's apart already.
Brilliant video! Just did mine, but didn't realise the wiper seal and the 0 rings on the tilt, were opposite to the trim. Is that the same on all engines?. I've got an old Yamaha 50. pro
You can tell this guy is a legit boater and definitely cool by the way he always has sunglasses on.
Lol ;) over 10 years with the same set, I should probably get a new pair of glasses :) realistically I need to get some prescription lenses put in them though lol
it's nice when you can get everything apart easily on older motor's expressly that pin on top of the ram
O meu motor depois de para lá em cima, ele cai lentamente, alguma dica?
Very useful. Thanks as always from Cape Cod.
Great explanation!! Keep it up 👍🏻!!!
A Glan nut wrench will work too, but only 2 pins on a glan nut wrench. If you mar up the holes in the trim caps, you can carefully, very carefully clean them up with a drill bit 1/16th size over. Great informative channel.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video brother. I need to tackle this on my 2005 Yamaha 115TLR.
I went to go out yesterday finally had some good weather noticed trim did not work then it wouldnt start.
I connected the power straight to the trim motor and it arcs out on the battery and it i earth one to the boat the other on the positive it wont work.
MY real question is though should my otuboard start when i disconnect the trim motor
Really, the trim motor shouldn't have anything to do with the starting system of the engine. So you might have a different electrical issue that is affecting both systems :?
@@BornAgainBoating I sure did i had a sealed waterproof battery isolator and externally looked fine but after a shop couldnt work it out i cut it open and it was corroded on the inside.
Can’t get all the air out of my trim despite going up and down many times. I can’t get the motor all the way to the stand because my hydraulic steering lines are hitting the transom. It’s an old bass boat. Is not getting the tilt ram all the way up why I can’t get all the air out? I could remove the hydraulic steering and get the motor all the way to the stand.
Many thanks for this education.
What atf should we use?
Regards
Looks like a back up ring behing the o ring. Good video!
The white ring of less elastic plastic is an anti-extrusion ring. It prevents the o-ring from squeezing in the clearance between piston and bore when under pressure. I ALWAYS put it on the opposite side from the hydraulic pressure. I believe his lift cylinder had it on the wrong side of the o-ring.
Great Video, But one Question, shouldn't the rams be retracted when you fill up with fluid, I don't know much about this Type of trim system, but on my IO cylinders, they have to be retracted to fill the Revivor or it will over fill, found that out the hard way and made a mess.
That jig is genius!
I have a slow leak and a few drops here and there from the two lower rams .You think a new dust seal on each one would do the trick and reuse the o rings and plastic seals ?Thanks and oh would you know the dimensions of the seals for that unit in the video .Thanks Terry
As long as your rams aren't pitted or scratched that would be how to reseal it for sure. I don't know the dimensions of the seals, you have to look them up based on your engine model :)
@@BornAgainBoating The only way oil can get to the "dust seal" is past the piston seal. So the piston seal needs to be replaced too. Another important function of the "dust seal" is to keep salt water out of the cylinder.
Awesome, thanks !
Hello and congratulations for your videos, really well done, I would like to know if the three piston seals are identical for all three thanks
Hi, it's Rose! I'm helping Aaron with comments. What an excellent question! It's getting answered on our podcast soon. Haven't checked it out? Subscribe now: www.youtube.com/@TheBoatersPodcast
I wish you had done this one 4 years ago. But I did get a 4 stroke anyway!
so any regular atf fluid will work? I was using the special trim fluid, but seems ATF is much cheaper

@@BornAgainBoating Seems like lots of us use ATF in these units. Often you will find it in hydraulic steering systems too.
Does a universal spanner for angle grinder go wide enough for those ram seals?
This guy is the best.
Great an informative vid. Have an I/O. Not familiar with outboard trim. Have the trim piston attached to engine. What are the two rods doing. AND why do they extend and retract at separate speed and not together

Excellent work How do I keep my trim motor from corroding so quickly. I sprayed with some corrosion blocking spray

Ever had the o ring on the cap squeeze its way out. I had it fixed last year and just now found out it did it again. I am wondering about the torqueing. I have a torque wrench do you happen to know what the spec is? Thanks
Not really, I've rolled the o-ring before and squished it lol but worked out not really, unless the cap was loose, I don't know the torque spec, I tighten them as tight as I can safely tighten them just before I know the tool will slip off lol, aka tighten it tight! But could have just had a bad oring or something might have messed it up :)
@@BornAgainBoatingfound out the torque spec is 115lbs
How would I get that out if my motor doesn't have room to tilt that far back?
Unfortunately if the engine is blocked by the transom something, you'd have to take the entire unit out of the bracktes :/
@@BornAgainBoating Can you make a video on that? HaHa
Great tutorial- thank you for demystifying the secrets of the power trim system!
Glad it was helpful!
@@BornAgainBoating For sure! The trim on my 2004 F90 has started sounding like it’s straining a bit to lift the engine. Maybe just low fluid but now at least I know how to check for that and contaminates. Cheers
Where can I buy just the few necessary gaskets instead of a $122 kit from mercury. On Crowley only option is kit.
You gotta look it up through your model number and then break it down to the component: pmprogo.snaponepc.com/consumer/#/consumer-epc
Would you please talk to us about those scupper valves that are on this boat you’re working on here? I have a couple of floor drains that always have water coming up through the when the boat is in the water and I’m wondering if these will help and if they would fit on my scupper holes?

You used a long lever plus jack handle to crack those ram caps 🎯so my question is what do they do them up with in the factory and how do they get them so tight ? 🤷♂️

Mine is leaving on the left part that looks like the motor. I've already replaced all the seals on the cylinders. I can't find the repair kit for this part. Yamaha 150 20111
Can't I just use the adjustable pin spanner wrench for a grinder? Or it doesn't fit the holes?
You might get away with that if the screw caps are not on too tight and have not corroded in place. But they will tend to slip out and damage the little holes. The tool he uses also employs three pins, not just two. You saw the torque he had to apply on this comparatively clean well maintained outboard.
Excellent thanks
I have an Evinrude 115. Which way do you turn the manual release to release and to engage the lift?
Lefty loosey righty tighty :)
Can you make a video on what to do if you didn’t winterize a 2 stroke outboard motor
I want to see you do a Johnson/Evinrude 40 or 50 HP two stroke. That top pin is a mullefugger. Then the inside split seals on the tilt cylinder cap. I want to see your trick for getting that one to seal reliably,.......the first time. I hate them.
Great video

Is it ok to use standard atf in the trim motor
Yes
Great job tkss
Thanks
I've got to do this very soon
Amazing just about to do my evinrude 150 v6 2004
Does this work on mercury outboard too?
Yea
Cool. But you don't change the O rings also?
Depends, sometimes yes, sometimes no, a lot of times they are fine and don't need changed, but other times they are smashed and need changed
What if you wanted to repair only one seal?
You can do that
Have you done this same service on year 89-95 60-90 hp mercurys? Is it possible to remove tilt ram same way as you did with this Yamaha without removing whole trim unit off the motor?

Thx
Wish this vid would’ve been out 2 weeks earlier I just paid 3k for a new evinrude trim ram assembly😑
Most anything can be fixed!! Just because it’s a boat or rv part is double or triples in price!!
The shop told me i have pitting and that changing out my seals are just going to leak again because of the pitting. They want me to change out the entire assembly
SUPER !!!
should do this on 425s so we can see the difference.
only works if rams arent pitted
Hi, wondering if you know of anyone or anyone on this feed whom has a rigging with binnacles for a 2018 Yamaha F115 motor??

You need to buy a Dremel tool with wire brushes - it cleans surfaces far faster and better than the razor blade - ALWAYS WEAR EYE SHIELDS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS - don't learn the hard way - eyes are precious.
You out on your own now?
I go back and forth for different projects at the marina now, mainly doing content and more restorations
should have just removed the complete ptt motor rather than just disassembling it on the engine. less mess and easy to work.
The problem with this is the TOOL TO LOSEN IT COST 300 DOLLARS
A lot of work and no one does it themselves just pay him and it is done right the first time bam
great trick with wood .........
