Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between tilt and trim?
A: Tilt raises or lowers your engine for trailering or shallow water, while trim adjusts the running angle of the propeller during operation for optimal performance.
Q: How do I know if my tilt motor is failing?
A: Signs include slow movement, unusual noises, or the motor not holding position. Check for hydraulic leaks or electrical corrosion at the connections.
Q: Can I replace just the motor or do I need the full assembly?
A: If only the motor has failed, replacement is possible. However, if hydraulic seals are leaking, a full tilt & trim assembly is recommended.
