was out today and when i came in I raised the motor and it came up part way and the pump started to make a noise like it striped out, got it home and it will not go up or down, trying to remove unit but cannot get it out , does the motor have to be off the boat to get the t/t unit from between brackets? can't get to the back bolt for the motor without removing tilt/trim assy. from bracket, any ideas please
On the larger (V6) Yamahas, you have to remove the engine, remove the left side bracket, then you can remove the entire unit....
I had to replace just the trim pump on my ol 2.6 Yamaha....when I took a look at it, then at the part in my hand, I laughed my azz off then called the dealer....I let them do it while I enjoyed the rest of my week....
I had to put a motor on my pump assy. It is a pain to get it off but can be done(motor itself). I bought an Arco aftermarket motor, much easier to install due to it's smaller size. A lot cheaper too.
I have a 2000 150 vmax, I took the entire tilt and trim unit off without taking the motor or bracket off, I'm not sure if it is the same as yours though

I tried bleeding the unit last night, it was low but still have same problem, i must have lifted the motor by hand a dozen times , seems like it is full of fluid, but the pump is still making the same noise and not working, anyone got any experiance with t/t units that could contact me and give me a few ideas on what to do next.
what did you hit on the lake???? or did it just start out of the blue?

just started out of the blue, was raising my motor so I could put the boat on the trailer
