    Evinrude Etec 2012 150HP motor power tilt and trim stuck in down position

    Hi - yes once I cleaned the pins with wire brush on bench grinder and holes with small brush, followed by bit of 400 sandpaper they all slid in very very easily. I plugged the wires into the relay plug to test and the replacement unit works great. I now just need to route them into the...

    Evinrude Etec 2012 150HP motor power tilt and trim stuck in down position

    Well, I got the PTT unit out. For the top pin, I used a ball joint press - made it extremely easy. Unfortunately for the lower pin, I could not source a large enough one locally. I did find one on the web but shipping was going to cost a lot. So I tried a bigger hammer and that got the lower...

I am not familiar with the type of retainer that is on this...
