93 Yamaha 50 Tilt assembly -Ball Bearings and Spings

Postby cjd » Sat Jun 16, 2018 7:36 am

93 Whaler turning in to a bit of a project.

Hoping for some help here. Rebuilding trim and tilt. I could not get the caps off of the assembly to save my life, so a friend took it to his shop. Non Boating. The techs pulled all three caps (2 trim 1 tilt).

Here is the problem.

On the larger middle tilt cylinder, when I opened ups the bag, the top slipped and hit the bottom of the boat. A mini explosion of springs and ball bearings occurred. I cannot find any diagrams that show me how to properly reassemble the spring and bearings. I believe I got them all.

Any help here? Anyone have a diagram? I have no idea how to position the bearings and springs back in to the housing. Every diagram I see assumes the housing has the bearings and springs installed. I am assuming they are some kind of valve set up to allow fluid to flow. I am so close to finishing what I thought was a simple project.


Would love to get this thing in the water for fathers day.

Is this what you are looking for? I had to guess on model #.

If it is not, I would call Andy at SIM Yamaha for help on the diagrams. He might not be able to send you one, but may be able to describe it. Worth a shot.
