www.MarineTechT... Complete Walk Through of Diagnosis, Disassembly and Rebuild of Yamaha Trim Cylinders. End Caps removed with Marine Tech Tools Pin Spanner Wrench. Complete set of Yamaha Trim Tilt Tools available online.
Me and my husband tried to DIY the repair. The tools were great but we end up send our Trim to Five Star Marine in FL for them to rebuild. Thanks for making the removal easy!
I saw other videos on this but I was only replacing the trim seals and not the tilt… so I had so much trouble blending it out. I just about gave up it after watching your video I went out and tried it your way and it was so easy… thank you
This is hands down the best video I have watched on showing how to add & bleed the tilt/trim system, I have a HPDI with the Showa trim. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Really appreciate this video. I was able to get the replacement parts and have everything replaced in less than an hour on a 2015 Yami 150. Toughest part was getting the dry rotted seal out of the cap. Everything else was super easy. thank you
Thanks for the walk through It worked out great. You never know the abilities of the previous mechanic until you take something apart. The guy before me was a butcher that's why the seals failed. He bitched up the bore that the seal set in on the cap. Probably he was impatient taking the old ones out. Anyway all is well thanks again!
Excellent video, really helpful. Greatly appreciated. My trim hydraulics overhaul went fantastic. And the Marine Tech removal tool worked amazingly. 5 stars.
Great video. I was able to complete this repair with very little mechanic skill. I also bought the tool from Marine Tech and it worked great. The pex tubing to prevent the tool from slipping is a great tip.
I dunno if you still read the comments on your videos. But this was really helpful in my rebuild. You should mention that the reason to be careful not to warp the rubber gaskets in the caps is because there is a metal core there. Warp that and your screwed, the unit I rebuilt was so rusted it looked like it was part of the cap! Only this video did not depict or show a metal tab in the cap that screws back on to the unit. Thank you!
Thanks for the great videos, I have a number of projects for this fall. You’ve walked me through all of them. Nice to know what I possibly might run into on my Yamaha outboard
Thanks for the video. Extremely helpful. I bought the wrenches from you for my Honda. They worked great. I have your bubble purge system - another great product.
You forgot to mension that you need to take the fill-cap out before you start :D I wrote everything down til tomorrow, im gonna do the same thing with my Honda BF75 engine. Well informed video dude!
Got one of their wrenches and one of the pins sheared off and rounded two of the holes in one of my trims caps. I had to use a punch to remove the caps and although I could probably reuse them I elected to replace them. At $67 US for this wrench, I expected better results. Buy this expensive wrench at your own risk.
My tilt ram lifts fine but does not have the pull down strength that it had before changing seals and O rings. Thus the motor comes out of the water when reversing. I have taken it apart 3 times and nothing is missing or installed wrong. Driving me crazy!
I just scratch the cap and made 2 or 3 hole broken to open the cylinder cap, it stuck very very bad and i didnt have the tool like this video shows, I break 2 of normal pin wrench and it didnt move a little, the final I using a metal hammer back flat plate place it on the cap, and using another big hammer to smash on it. After I made a pit on the cap and keep smash on it and it loose finally, I observed the cap and the cap screw thread it just fine and I replace the seal inside and the o ring too. Then I put back together and it work fine. Of course the cap just like damage.
Once on the stand trim down to get the rams out of the way which makes marking them far less likely. However, if your end caps are like mine you'll pull your hair trying to get them off!!!
I replaced the seals on my trim because it was leaking out around the shaft on the left side. Replaced both sides Put it all back together now the other side leaks and i cant figure out why. Everything looks fine .
Great video, took all the guess work out of changing trim seals I bought the MT spanner wrench I'm sure I will be using it again. Looks like my Yam 200 SX TT motor is leaking on the back side, any
i have a yamaha f150la , i unscrewed the tilt trim drainage by mistake thinking it was the fill cap. I had the Cap, a little bolt, a filter , and a bronze cylinder with a nipple on both ends come out. Now I am having trouble putting it back in cant seem to find out the order it goes back in , due to fact that as soon as i unscrewed it it all fell out at once.
I only have 1 trim cylinder cap leaking. Do I need to take apart the good one as well? Everything appears to be ok in the one I took apart, other than the leaking gasket. BTW, great spanner wrench you guys sell.
Thanks for the video. You are very thorough. Question: Is it better to pull the lower unit off to reduce weight when you lower motor down with manual release? Will be doing on 250 SHO. Thanks
The Yamaha manual states not to use a rag or cloth to wipe down parts because of microscopic peices coming off and getting in the system.My question is what the heck do you use then?
Thanks for the video! What about the rings on the bottom of the trim piston? Should those be replaced as well? I don’t believe that was mentioned in your video. Thank you if you can reply
I have a trim with double actuator. I fix it and before placing it I want to test it with a battery outside and I have 3 thick cables one blue, red, black and one black that goes to an actuator asks how I connect it in the battery to test it thanks
I have the yamaha 225hp, but the tilt and trim looks identical to the one in the video. Where can I get the spanner wrench (special tool ) to remove cylinder caps from?
Hi Think you very much.you help me for your instructions put ??? have you got a video on how to do the replacement seal from middle cap trim ? Or remove hydraulic from boat ? Thinks
After replacing the seals on my tilt trim and as i lower it, it start to shake and jump. As it go lower and/or stop, it make a squeaky noise. Needs help on this, any suggestions?
Greetings I am Ismael from Puerto Rico. I have a Yamaha engine 250 HP model S250TXRX . I need to know which tool I need to open the hydraulic bottles for the trim and tilt system of my boat. I would appreciate if you could give me the exact measurement.
My 98 Yamaha 60hp 2s has trim caps that measure 32mm from pin hole to pin hole (across). Seems to me the AMT0006 wrench would work but only Yamaha 115hp and up are listed as fitting that wrench it seems to me. Not sure what "Showa manufactured" means as far as my motor. They are stock. Will the 0006 fit or not?
this was great info do you have the seal kit # for what I need to do this job my motor is doing exactly this !! great job. please send what I nee to do this . Thanks, The Rod Father
my engines, go up and down without any problems, but once I am on the water and put in reverse, the engine comes up and out of the water. What can I do ?
I can't get the Trim 2 cylinder to lift the engine was working perfect before I replaced trim 1 both seals and dust gaurd. I hit up button apply oil the two small Trim cylinder pop out but the main isn't lifting. I loosen the cap on resivore getting air coming out. I tried bleeding like you did in video any suggestions it's a 2003 yam 115
Hi guys has anyone had trouble getting their screw off? My screw is already a little stripped from previous owner. I had a tough time getting it off to take the pressure off the system. Any tips? Thank you!
use a manual impact screwdriver. In another of his videos, he uses one. BTW, I think this guy is on his own and had a seastar bleed system, we should try to support him. Good dude, we all need his videos.
I replaced my seals.... now when lowering down to the 2 trim rams, the pressure of the fluid has pushed the dust seal out and leaks all over... I have swapped the caps from right to left and vice versa, still leaks only on one cap.... no matter which side I put it on, so I bought a new cap to replace that one and it happened again..... I am now lost at what to do... could air in the system be a cause of it leaking out like that? swapping the caps with each other was just to help rule out that the "piston" rods of the trim were not culprit. thanks if anyone can help.
+Barrio Jon You can loosen the screw like Leon is showing you and you then can manually lift up the engine. It's pretty balanced but still heavy so you may want another person to help.
+Leon Griffin I was talking to a Yamaha guy and he told me it's a piece of cake, yea right. Well, it said once you put the motor on the trailer lock, then back off a touch, the pin holding the cylinder will loose. Remove the C-clip and tap the rod thru the piston and it will be free. However you first have to remove the tubing going across the cylinder. Also, before all that, you have to loosen the end cap FIRST. Then he said, once you have the cylinder end cap off, you pull the whole piston out and do it in reverse of the trim . I'm going to attempt it this weekend.
