Trim Rod Service
Removal
Tilt the outboard to the full tilt UP position.
Use a strap and an appropriate hoist to support
the outboard by the gearcase. The outboard will
drop when hydraulic pressure on the trim and tilt
system is released.
Disconnect the battery cables at the battery, to
prevent accidental operation of the trim system
during servicing.
Place an appropriate pan under the outboard to
catch spilled hydraulic fluid.
Use Spanner Wrench, P/N 912084, or Spanner
Wrench, P/N 359080, to remove the trim rod end
caps.
Remove end caps from both trim cylinders. Slide
the end caps towards the trim rollers.
NOTICE
Service procedures of hydraulic trim and tilt
systems MUST occur in a clean, dust-free
environment.
When cleaning components use lint-free
shop towels.
Dirt, dust or other contaminants in the
hydraulic system can result in malfunctions
or failures.
WARNING
Support the outboard by the gearcase in the
UP position, with a suitable hoist.
When servicing the trim rods, the outboard
will drop from the tilted position.
Avoid personal injury; always support the
outboard’s weight with a suitable hoist during
service.
