Trim Pump Leak

Fair Price · #1 04-23-2012, 02:05 PM

Took the cover off to get ready for the season and found the left cylinder leaking. The motor does not move at all when using the switch have to release the screw and lift manual. How screwed am I? I think the pump is empty as well since it is leaking. It makes a straining noise when the tilt switch is used. Can the seals just be replaced or is it the whole thing? Thank you in advance for any help!

I believe you need a special tool to remove the end cap and then you can replace the seal.

There was a problem with some of them Yamaha cylinders, I had a 87 and the dam cover kept comming lose?? I just refilled fluids and put back on and no problems, just keep checking from time to time!
The first few times i used a hamer and punch to get the covr tight, but after awhile i found that my 4 1/2 grinder wrench was the same as the holes in the cover, added some lock tight to the cover and was good to go for a few tears after!

I have not checked voltage yet, I have tried to find the seals and the right toll for the job and I'm coming up short. Where do I add fluid? You have to lift the engine up and down to get it full right? I have to find the manual for the engine it's in the garage someplace.
