    I just bought a "new to me" 1996 2 stroke 8HP in super good shape.... looks and runs like brand new... and for the life of me i couldnt figure out why this RING lever whachamathingy, was the lock out mechanism. did not know that the bracket on the small post was there for a reason!! came across this video and BAMMMM answered! Was out of adjustment like described in the video..
    thank you!!! works like a charm!! set it and forget it!!! sounding like Ron Pompeil on some infomerciall!!! I have a deep splashwell on an old starcraft and was thinking what a P.I.T.A its gonna be to pull motor but now easy peasy!!

    The correct way to set that is to put the motor in forward gear then move that piece with the 8mm up just enough to move that ring a little . This way it will still lock when reversing and be unlocked while going forward .

      Might be a while ago but just did what you've said, had a feeling there was more to it in adjusting so the reverse should lock up, thanx 👍

    Very concise video, great time saver, thanks. The only thing I would add is that on my 1999 Mercury 4 stroke 9.9, what I did was I put it in reverse, then slid the adjustment all the way up to where it stayed locked, then tightened it. Then as I shifted back into neutral it unlocked the motor and in forward it drops even lower so therefore stayed unlocked as well.

    thank you very much young man! I bought a 9.9 last year and have not been able to tilt the motor! My buddies and i have messed with it. Soon as you said and point at the ring shape latch I went WTF? Nothing that would point that out! You are awesome!! THANK YOU!

    One negative on leaving the outboard on tilt is... if you need reverse with throttle the outboard can tilt forward and the prop will try to come out of the water. This happened to me one time when I accidentally left my outboard on tilt. Also, my outboard is on a 26’ sailboat. Thanks for the video.

    Appreciate the video. Have a 6hp also. Similar year I believe. Mine won’t stay in the upright tilted position even with the lever in the locked position. Seem like the spring May be worn.

    How far up should the adjustable plastic collar be adjusted? Just until the motor tilts freely OR as far up as you can against the cast collar? TY

    Also the slide piece has a guide nut and if it comes lose it will do the same thing not allowing you to be able to trim your motor it will stay locked down . That just happened to me and all I did was tighten it snugg and problem was fixed
