Bogus - The trim is the cylinder that is closest to horizontal. The tilt is the one closest to vertical.<br /><br />This is a very complex mechanism. The OMC manual divotes 46 pages to this unit.<br /><br />I that twin 1987 1.6L Sea Drives and strongly suggest that you get bothe the Service Manual (PN 507623) and the Parts Catalog (PN 985419). I got mine this year so they are still available.<br /><br />I have had mine for 9 years so far and have been very satisfied with them. They are on a very heavy 1988 23' Wellcraft CC and are run in salt water.
