    Thanks for the video. For those asking why not remove the whole thing and work it’s really not necessary. It’s also nice to have the motor mounted to remove the top cap with spanner wrench to give you leverage and torque. One thing is that it’s fairly common to have everything work fine but have a slow leak from the top seal and makes a mess under it. You also lose function of trim even you lose enough fluid. With that said if you go thru all this you need to remove the three t20 screws and replace the internal seal on the top cylinder cap.

    If the hydraulic cylinder doesn't leak , is it still necessary to change the seals ? The motor is over 20 years old.

    What size is your motor because your tilt trim looks like the same size as mine. My motor is a 40 hp mercury force outboard. I need to replace the top gasket leaking fluid out of the top. I really like your videos.

    When I popped out the 3rd O-ring, I "ever so gently" used the power up tilt to pop it out. Wouldn't budge at first, but when it did, whoa, came out at warp speed and could've killed. So be careful with that way to get that bottom one out.

    Good video but let me add when removing the motor there is a small drive gear that will fall out. I lost mine but made a new one from a allen wrench. That's all it was anyway. Another thing is there is more o-rings too on these parts. The top cap has a inside o-ring as well. To get the top cap off to replace the inside o-ring the bottom piston needs to be removed. It has a plate with three star screws but be careful removing it because there is small springs on 5 locations ball seats and bearings to remove and put in a bag so they don't get lost. Put the rod in a vise and use the pin spanner to remove that piston the same way as the top cap. Now you can remove and replace all the outer and inner o-rings plus the last memory piston that this video shows to pop out. When you put the bottom piston back on the rod lock tight as required per the mercury maintenance manual.

    Hi Ryan, without looking at it could be a few things but sounds like air in the system. You need to follow the steps and one important one is filling the cylinder halfway up or 3" from the top before putting the parts back in. Watch my video and maybe there was a step you missed. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mHufltCDiKivdLQ.html

    Thanks to this video i did it. I used a spanner wrench ( a must). Dave is correct that one can use the power up to push out the main piston, but i added ATF to get it to pressure up,. I also used a rubber mallet and hit the case at the point of the piston. Yes it popped out. Ok the seals were hard (old) and the main piston seal had about five scratches on that piston. so i would say that you got to replace all 3 seals. I got to get the fluid and bleed. I would get the mercury fluid and not use ATF, mercury is clear. Thanks Dave.

    seals/orings are really cheap if you just get them out first and then go to a local seal company and have them match new ones up to the orginals, way cheaper than buying them in a mercury package, just make sure you tell them what they will be used for so they are compatible with the fluid used, ie they need to be compatible with power transmission fluid

    another thing, its pretty much imperative to bleed the system when the arm is disconnected from supporting the engine weight, i tried to do it without disengaging, which means lifting the weight of that engine a number of times, i'm in pretty good shape and a big guy but its brutal after a while, definitely way easier and much quicker success to do it with the wires connected but no weight on the ram, as per Scott above not sure you have to use actual tilt fluid, i use regular atf and it seems to work fine for me, if anyone is having trouble getting the cap loosened to actually open up the cylinder in the beginning email me at [email protected] and i'll send you a pic of a tool i had made to help with that job, thanx to the original poster for posting this vid, helped me realize i needed to change the seal on the unattached disc that was pushed out by using the trim motor to help, had no idea that was in there, thanx again
