6.4.10 INSPECTING POWER TILT-TRIM AND BRACKETS
The power tilt-trim bracket unit secures the outboard(s) to your vessel and controls the attitude of
the outboard(s) while underway. The unit should be inspected regularly for leaks and ensure the
mechanisms work correctly.
To inspect the power tilt-trim system
1 Tilt your outboard(s) fully up and engage the tilt locks, then tilt the outboard(s) back down until they are
resting on the tilt locks.
2 Standing beside the outboard, visually inspect the central power tilt-trim assembly for leaks, cracks or
corrosion. Do not stand or pass underneath the outboard whilst tilted.
3 Standing beside the outboard(s), visually inspect the side brackets for corrosion, especially around
the mounting fasteners and washers.
4 Inspect the mounting bolts for tightness and check that the mounting fasteners and washers are
seated flat against the brackets. Check also that the brackets sit flush against the vessel transom.
5 Tilt up, disengage the tilt locks, then from the helm, fully tilt-trim your outboard(s) in both directions
and check for smooth, continuous movement from the pump motor.
6 Moving beside your outboard(s) and using the outboard-mounted tilt-trim switch, tilt-trim the
outboard(s) fully in and listen for smooth pump operation and movement. The motor’s pitch will
change when moving from tilt to trim. Once fully trimmed in and without moving under the outboard(s),
visually inspect the tips of the trim rams for cracking or excessive wear. Tilt-trim your outboard(s) fully
out and listen for smooth pump operation and movement.
WARNING
Do not place any body parts between an outboard(s) and tilt-trim unit and do not pass or stand under
an outboard while it is tilted.
