Thanks for showing the "hard" time consuming and perplexing problems - not just skirting past them like so many other videos.

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this video. I just went through the same process of replacing a tilt assist with a power tilt and trim. I watched the whole video and the wiring sequences multiple times in order to understand how to do it since my wiring harness is a little different from yours. I didn't even know what I needed to do this until I watched you go through it. But I figured it out thanks to your video and everything works great. I hate to think about how this would have gone if I hadn't found your video. Great job!

Hi Brandon! You didn't happen to keep that tilt assist set up??? Lol I have owned my 90 40 hp Evinrude since it was new. I have managed to keep it operating (mostly) since then, up until now! So if you do have it? setowzer@gmail.com. Really appreciate your Channel!!! Thanks!

Just came across your channel and the videos are so helpful

It always helps to be stubborn and not let something like a stuck bolt or in this case, a rod, defeat you. Nice work getting that out of there, being stubborn always pays off.

Awesome videos Mate ! Especially this video as l'm in the process of doing the same thing, very helpfull, l only wish l could bet the electrical parts in Australia, especially the motor mounted switch. Keep up the great work. Cheers from down under.

You can get parts out there, just cost a bit more to ship. Check eBay too.

Nice video for replacement, KZread gave me this instead of adding to a motor without tilt and trim

you're really talented.

Awesome video! All i have to say is im one of the lucky ones that dont need to use heat to take off that bolt.

Coming along. I love my 1989 evinrude 40.

Thanks for the video, Just picked up a 1990 Johnson 50 HP VRO that is missing the hydraulic trim assist. I like your idea of getting the entire swivel/transom mount. I'm currently looking for one. I will also delete the VRO system as well. Great video too.

I have a 91 evinrude vro. Curious how you do vro delete and what did you do with the tilt assist? Mine has no pressure behind it so it just slams down but I can get it up and down

Great video, thanks for sharing. What is the paint you used to paint the power trim?

I have a 50hp Johnson tiller and I’m wondering where you would connect that white wire off the power tilt/trim harness. I put the black/green wires on the ground stud, I’m just not sure where the white one goes

Great video, I’m in the process of removing at tilt assist on a 1992 40hp evinrude and installing a power trim assembly harness, relays switch and motor and hydraulic unit that I purchased on eBay. Everything is great but I can’t figure out where the three wires from the relays go. Maybe you can help me.

Thanks for the information. I will be tackling my 48SPL in the next week or so. I believe it is the same as tour engine so needless to say, your video will be running the whole time. One suggestion for you is when you are heating up nuts, bolts or pins it might work better to use either a small rosebud or even a welding tip instead of the cutting tip you used. Once again, thanks.

Following up on this myself. I have a 48spl and wanting power trim and tilt.

Great video! will this work if I have a 2 wire system coming out of my tilt trim?

Do you ever have to change the fluid in the tilt assembly?? Mine is pretty old and I don’t know if it’s ever been changed. It works fine.

@5:23 cracked me up.... Hammer time. ♫ ♪ ♬ :-)

Just bought the power tilt n trim for my 98 Johnson 50hp to convert from manual tilt, my TnT motor only has two wires..

I really need some help I have a 95 evinrude 60hp 2storke 3 cylinder I'm trying to figure out the wiring on the power board please help

I have a 91 evnrude 40hp the relay was taking out so I got another one wired it up and now when I turn the ignition on the motor goes down. When the key off I can control it up and down

Good video.. Is it possible, and ok, to add a power trim assembly to an outboard with manual? 1986 Evinrude 40hp tiller. Thank you.

I have this same TNT unit on my boat. I drained the fluid for normal maintenance and now I can't seem to get all the air bleed out. I have it so it sounds like it should going up but when it goes down it sounds terrible and bounces. I've lifted and lowered the motor 40 times and still can't get all the air out. The motor will stay up on the trailer and if I put pressure on it it will stay up. When I get out on the water and give it gas it won't stay up on it's own which is something that just started after changing fluid. How did you bleed the air out of system?

sorry Brandon's Garage, I did not understand the size of the screw or extractor tools you use. It is a measure that here in Europe we do not use,Can you write me the thread step ? It's important to me because I can not extract the top pin without right tools . thanks !

Do you still have any of the hardware for the manual trim with cylinder ?

Hi, my johnson's (j40plsoc, 2007 model) trimm sender lever is broken. Can you help me find a used sender at a decent price since new ones are extremely expensive for a trimmer in a plastic housing.... And my rev meter does not seem to be working. How can I troubleshoot it ?

I have a J40RCR 1984. Is it possible to install electric trim tilt on it?

EXCELENTE TRABAJO ME GUSTARÍA TRADUCIRLO AL CASTELLANO

Would this setup work on a 30hp conversion? I'm changing it from a tiller to helm steering.

Shouldn't you heat the material around the pin not the pin itself? When you heat the pin the pin swells into the hole locking it in even more.

Can I get that part number for the electric trim/tilt? I have the manual but it’s seized on me too many times to count. Tired of looking like a idiot at the ramp.

Hey man what did you search on eBay to buy that whole midsection part to do the swap

What affect does it have to the boat

Another question, when l removed my gas assist ram it was mounted in the hole closest to the transom, l see you have mounted your ram in the middle hole of the 3 holes, is there a reason you selected the centre hole. Cheers again.

None, other than that is where it came out of. The prior owner of that engine, set that pic to get the lowest setting on his boat. Depending on your boat, you may want it up a notch or two.

Wasn't the weight of the motor pushing down on the lower pin? Had you supported the lower unit up or tied it up .. wouldn't have been so tight.. right?

No, tried that. Even removed it from the bench and tried with it suspended from the overhead hoist.

will the 4 amp charging system be enough to keep up now that you added the tilt and trim ?

Under the flywheel, which runs to the Dual coil.

SHoot some lag bolts into your mount and the wood so you are not wiggling the mount so much. Just wasting the inertia of the hammer on a loose mount.

Looking for a 1989 50 hp Evinrude E50BELCEC tilt/trim unit if anyone knows where to find one! TYIA!
