Re: tilt/trim 175mariner 1989
Back in March of 2003 I had to take the motor off of my titl/trim. I have a 1996 Merc 200 EFI, but I believe it is the same. Yeah, I had to beat the pin with everything I had to get it out. I guess the pin can really get in a bind sometimes. The problem I had was the electric motor had power, but would not spin. I was able to fix mine by taking the electric motor apart and sanding the tarnish off of the brushes and then sanding the surface they ride on. A mechanic wanted $400.00 to put a new one on. Cost me less than ten bucks for the brake cleaner and sandpaper. The trim is still working fine and it has been almost a year now, since I fixed it.
