Tilt trim problem

[dudley]

Hi all... I'm new to this board so bear with me.<br />1991 mercury 60hp ser#OD035776.<br />Tilt quit working. I disconnected the 2 wires going to the tt motor and applied 12v&gnd. motor wouldn't work. pulled tt motor and it had water inside, brushes gone, arm. burned.<br />I need a motor but can't find just a motor by itself. <br />The motor is a 2 wire 2 1/4 dia. drop in motor.<br />( motor fits inside the top of the reservoir unit)<br />All I find available is motor with res unit.<br />To replace it I would have to pull the tt unit off the engine.<br />Questions finally<br />1. Does anyone know where I can get just a motor?<br />2. How do I pull the tt unit. It is a single ram.<br />thanks,<br />Dudley

Re: Tilt trim problem

the armature is to far gone to repair,also the brush holders are broken.<br /><br />Does anyone know of a place that sells parts and pieces off of used units?<br /><br />Dud...

Re: Tilt trim problem

it's pretty easy to remove the tt unit on this model:<br />(excuse my english, i'm french speaking)<br />1. disconnect the green and blue wires into the cowling (just behind the oil reservoir)<br />2. lift the motor, engage the tilt lock lever<br />3. remove the crosspin and the upper retaining pin with a punch<br />3. remove the anode at the bottom of the bracket and do the same thing to the lower pin (there's a hole to push on it just under the release valve access)
