  Yamaha Tilt Trim Manual Release - Motor Won't Go Down

  https://www.thehulltruth.com > ... > The Boating Forum
  Dec 1, 2013 - 1996 225hp Salt Water Series 2. I replaced the tilt trim motor because it was intermittently working. This wasn't a problem at all.

Beginning in 2005 Yamaha stopped including the year information in the model number. The production date can be found on the transom bracket of post 2004 motors.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/saam_2816e29ba1070532

loosen engine mounting bolts and steering tube , trim engine up by releasing the valve on the side and tie up so not tocome down ! remove pin on the ram then remove all bolts and wires and should come out !

lock lever not down ? does it move up and down at all , the tilt tube could be siezed ,both trim solinoides working ? try standing on the engine gearbox as you trim down or manually release ! if then goes down try injecting the grease nipples with petrol via a grease gun that uses tubes like tooth paste and this will soak the corrosion ! then grease and see if free and if not enough then lift the engine off and remove the tilt tube and clean the sleeves and grease and refit !

First check fuse box, look for one that is blown. also look for a loose or disconnected wire . It also may be that the lights and tilt are on the same circuit . if it is a blown fuse, replace it with the correct same fuse. Also check that connections at the battery are tight.

no. a unmodified transom bracket may need to be moved not removed. Since the tilt motor is out you will need to manually lift the engine. you can see the picture diagram at www.yamaha-motor.com. click on outboard motors,parts and service, view parts catalog. find your year make and model by following steps listed at top. select power trim and tilt assembly. in the picture you will see the location of the Manuel release valve on the starboard side. turn the Manuel release valve then lift the engine. tie it up or use a stand to keep it up,do not use the tilt lock. with the engine in full tilt position, you can see the motor. some brackets are modified were you can remove the motor without moving the transom bracket. If unmodified you'll need to follow these steps. (1) lower the engine back down.the steering arm needs to be removed from the steering cable and swung forward. do not remove steering arm from engine. on the starboard side of the engine you will see the steering cable going into the steering cable tube. (2)a 1 1/6 nut secures the cable to that tube remove it and slide cable out do not remove it.(3) lift engine again and secure it. your about to remove the motor mount bolt so make sure you secure the motor completely (4)remove upper and lower transom to bracket bolts remove bolts on the port side only.(5) you will see three bolt that go through the transom bracket to the trim and tilt assembly. remove them.(6) if all bolts are removed you will be able to slide the port transom bracket to the left out of the way(7) remove tilt/trim motor.
