Once again Stu to the rescue… Got my new tilt motor in (over the water no choice) only thing is, now when I get to the full tilt up it goes back down…I can stop it midway or just before full and it will stay up…. Any tricks or did I miss something? Cheers

Is it just me who go to this guy whenever I have an issue with my outboard pretty much no matter what it is? In fact I come here whitout any issues whatsoever, these videos are just so relaxing to watch!

“Best day ever!”……said no worm dropped in a bird pen ever- lol. Seriously tho, great vid Stu - and love the idea of your redesigned web catalog. That’s going to be hugely useful.

With an older outboard you really need a bit of DIY knowledge. Your video's are an invaluable source and greatly appreciated. I whish when I had an old blue band mercury years ago that I had these tutorials. I did it the hard way back then.

Informative video, thanks. With a bit of help I had the tilt trim motor and most of the seals done in the unit. I went cheap aftermarket motor as I could not justify $600 for genuine. Each time I bring the boat home, I hose around the tilt unit and then give it a good soak of wd40. I've been running it fairly regularly and after near a year, it still works 👍

Thanks for another great vid. Your office is awesome. Beautiful back drop.

Excellent and informative video as usual. I love watching these simple jobs. Speaking of 'simple jobs', how about a short video on rewinding/replacing the pull start rope on an outboard? Reason I ask is about a week ago, a friend asked me to help replace the cord on a small 9.9hp motor and holy crap, what a mess. When he originally took it apart, he took to many parts off and ended up having that pesky 5 or so foot long razor sharp coil spring pop out and unwind on him while under almost full tension. He ended up getting a few stitches, 6 total, on the side of his right index finger and hand because of it. That's why he needed help. I figure it would not only help on marine engines, but other pull cord started engines like lawn mowers as well. Anyway, thank you again and we shall see you in the next video.

Tying the cable conduit down can lead to water getting into the bottom bend, leaving the cables in (salty) water. Maybe a water drain hole at the lowest spot could solve that.

Hello from England. I always end up watching your videos over all the others for these outboard repairs coz you cover everything.

I waded though several rubbish videos from Yanks that re-fitted motors but copmpletely skipped the actual fitting bit... honestly! Cheers mate 🙂

Love the new format Stu and love the new beach bum look 👍

I like "Stu-it-yourself" videos. Daffy is gonna have a belly ache after the worm feast. I remember when I was in the military and spent time in Honduras about 40 years ago. One of the local families would keep a large wadded up piece of plastic in the corner of their dirt floor hut. Each morning, a member of the family would pick up the large piece of plastic and carry it outside. The chickens would gather around. As the family member unraveled the folded up plastic, all kinds of roaches and other bugs would fall out of it onto the ground and the chickens would scramble (whoever eats the fastest, gets the mostest?) for the bugs all scattering and running for their lives. Kind of a primitive bug trap turned chicken feeder. Resourceful people.

You can try hanging an old thick comforter behind your camera to dampen the 'ringing echo' caused by too many hard, flat surfaces. It's not terribly noticeable, but the sound should equal the great video quality. I was born on an island, in Brooklyn N.Y. and spent my life by the sea, fixing balky outboards was a way to make pocket money for a teenager.

Hey Stu. Who do you have dressing the set this week? An item in each of the sail panels in the background is top banana. Maybe the staff member can change these features to match the flavour of the vid each time? The beach looks very inviting in the sun. Another nice set with a little wind effect in post? Good tool choice and while it’s handy to check correct size with the ‘easy’, I agree ‘always start with the difficult fasteners’. That motor is nasty. The tilt hydraulic systems on boats that I’ve worked on are very complicated. The motor is the simple bit. Cool vid. Cool new site. Great work!!

the bro said the forbidden words "Its gone pretty smoothly"... you know if you know... go to torque the last one down and it does the thing.

Stu, as for your concern for making some videos more entertaining, may I remind you good sir, you manage to make your two chickens, one with a gimpy leg and authority issues, the other a fully neurotic individual who is scared of her own shadow entertaining. So don’t worry about not being entertaining my good fellow.

At the very beginning of this instructional video, you stated the necessary tools, the allen key and beer, but you forgot to state the piece of drift wood. Also, regarding the beer, it wasn't clear when it should be used, before the job begins, during the job, or afterwards when I discover that the trim still doesn't work.

Put the sealant and side cutters in the stubby holder lol

Hey Matt. I've found it to be pretty good. A lot of it does come down to not letting water get into it, both will fail pretty fast if that happens. A clean mating flange and a bit of sealant should have an aftermarket one working for many years.
