[steplift20]

Hey spare if I run by you can you check out my whole engine and of course don't charge me that said you sound like a great mechanic ,could I be your best friend please My motor is old and I need all the help I can get

[steplift20]

Did you check ebay for the part I had to get a used trim assembly and the only place was ebay paid 400 dollars ans paid about 150 to have it installed worked ok for about six months then had to get a new trim motor, that cost me 800 so I'm into this for about 1500 I wanted to get a new unit from the start but they don't make them any more Thanks mercury Oh and now they don't make the motor anymore from the company that I bought it from so if I have to replace that I hVe to buy from ebay yep the warranty expired 1 year My advice to you is if you can get a new assembly I know it's a lot of money but it will be cheaper in the long run

Yes, i bought the one from eBay. A new trim assembly with Yamaha pricing is a scoach under 3 grand. My motor might bring $4500 - 5k on a good day. Boats.net prices a new trim unit at $2500 and change. I'm into this one for around $830. I can do this three times for what a new unit costs.......if I don't sell it and hang a 4 stroke on the back.

Good find Bradford. Hopefully this unit I bought will work as advertised.

Me personally I think if you here the motor running but it's not raising the engine sounds like air is in the system I would check all the possibilitys

[Blue_Runner]

Step, I agree on checking all possibilities. I spent almost $100 and worked for around 6 hours over a period of 2 - 3 days trying to bleed air out of the system. I had it moving up and down smoothly while not under load and moving up very slowly under load, then it would very quickly leak back down. My downfall was actually getting too much fluid in the reservior which lead to causing the reservior to crack and spew fliud across the shop. A new reservior is $160 ish. Had I not blown the reservior I'd still be working on it. My time and frustration is worth something too..... and those fish aren't going to patiently wait while I fiddle around in the shop pretending to know what I'm doing.

If you are interested I'll sell you my non working unit at a discounted price. If you can get it working good it is worth anywhere between 700 - 1000 on the market. Or you could part it out for even more $$. Like I said it now needs a new reservior (made of cheap plastic). Cosmetically it is a 9 out of 10. It may just need a new manual release valve screw. You can buy a new one for $120 ish and "try" that. You could also buy all new seals and replace them too (if you can get by without wringing bolts off). Anyone else interested in it. Make offer.

I also have a 14.25 x 17 RH stainless prop in like new condition that needs a new hub pressed in. Make offer.

Sounds like the seal on the tilt ram was torn. If it would move without load, but slowly with a load and rapidly leak down, then the only answer was a torn tilt ram seal. It was simply bypassing the fluid internally around the seal and bleeding back off to the reservoir. I found a few on EBAY for $400, but prices range all over the board on those. Also thta looks like the fastrac system, and IIRC they had problems with the drive coupler breaking in the YAMAHA version.
