Author	Topic:   Replacing Tilt N Trim on 80s Evinrude 90HP V4
bsmotril	posted 08-25-2005 11:19 AM ET (US)         I've got a couple of questions about the tilt trim assembly on a mid 80s Evinrude 90HP: Can the trim/tilt motor assembly be replaced without taking the entire engine of the boat transom? If the entire Tilt/Trim motor/pump/ram assembly needs to be replaced, doed that require dismounting the engine from the transom? Any idea what a replacement trim motor goes for? Thanks, BillS

Hope this helps... Dave... ps...for me, it was worth the $ because one resource I really don't have a lot of is time...

These can be removed and the assembly tilted out for access to the tilt motor. The hardest part of working on this unit may well be removing the pin from the upper ram arm where it attaches to the bottom of the engine. Mine was extremely corroded. Good luck. Al
