Re: Trim/Tilt
Usually that's due to the hinge area at the steering arm being too tight due to salt corrosion, rust, whatever.<br /><br />Loosen one of the large side bolts temporarily, remove the two grease fittings and make sure grease flows through them, clean out any possible hard caked debris that may exist in the grease area.<br /><br />After the above, reinstall the grease fittings, then force grease through those areas. Hopefully that cures your problem.<br /><br />If it doesn't, and you find that the noise is actually coming from the PTT unit itself, that's going to demand some dismantling of the unit.
