Tilt / Trim Motor Torque Specs

[meighkee]

Just replaced the tilt/trim motor on a Yamaha 50, 2 stroke. Anyone know the torque specs to tighten it down evenly?

Moved so you would have a better chance of getting an answer.

I appreciate the info. I'm old school. Not sure about the Nm stuff. To translate, you're saying 2.9 foot pounds?

 

[racerone]

so---35 / 40 inch-lbs.

Torque is expressed in pound feet. Not foot pounds.

Many get it backwards.

Gotcha. Thanks very much.

Yamaha does not give a range.

I spent 20 years wrenching on military aircraft. Used a torque wrench on nearly everything and was taught the wrong terminology. Very hard habit to break but every bit as bad has confusing “then” with “than” or “break” with “brake” or “their” with “there”. At least the last 2 examples rhyme. Typos happen but most just don’t know and don’t care.

Being a pedant myself as well, I appreciate the differences and the reasons why

Does the use of the word pedant make one one?
