Author	Topic:   Manual tilt release, 1992 Evenrude 200
JMARTIN	posted 02-22-2013 12:32 PM ET (US)         The model is E200 TXENE and the manual release is on the port side, looks like a flat head screw inside of a snap lock washer thingy. I tried to loosen it but it is real tight and I did not want to screw anything up. The tilt does not work, electrical problem and I want to get the motor down so I can replace the steering cables.

Put a wrench on the shaft to give you more torque when you turn the screw, You could even use a friend for this, one of you push the driver on and hold it while the other person turns the wrench. If you get it off replace the screw.
