    Hello, Just got this motor recently and I've discovered that it has no trim, only tilt. I didn't know they made them with only trim, or is there a problem with the tilt/trim?? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Same cylinder handles BOTH trim and tilt. Hydraulic limit mechanism prevents trimming too high when above approximately 2500 RPM's in gear.
