Tilt noise

[Neptun]

Hi.<br /><br />I have a new Yamaha F115. The tilt makes a loud and irritating noise. This happens only when tilting upwards, and the noise disappers after leaving the initial tilt-area (trim). It sounds bad - like cutting in glas with a glas-cutter. I had just the same noise on my old engine (Suzuki), and it functioned perfect for 10 years without doing anything, so I don't believe this is a serious malfuntion. But it's irritating - specially on a brand new engine. Could it be fixed?

Re: Tilt noise

try some water proof grease on the trim pin tips and the wear pads.

Did You put any grease on the steering wire when you put the wire thru the engine ??

Re: Tilt noise

I have never heard a quiet hydraulic pump. They all make noise. It was less noticable before because outboard motors were louder before. With modern 4-strokes, even the tiniest noise is now noticable.

Re: Tilt noise

Like Rodbolt says, it's most probably the push pins screetching on the wear pads. Mine used to screetch/squeel unitl I put some grease on the pads - no more noise. i just grab some excess off the tilt tube greese nipple.<br /><br />David
