Awesome and informative video. Dove into this job myself and one thing that helped a ton on a few other videos were the links to the tools and materials needed for the job in the description. Feel like that would have made this video a one stop shop deal. Solid content nonetheless!
Great video. I'm curious what year your engine is. I’m learning my way around a 2008 Yamaha F200TXR. My hood is shaped just like yours. I can see the seals on my port cap are leaking a little. Thanks for the instruction.
Yes buy that tool you will thank me later , it’s a pain but the tool saves you time and money in the long run. Glad video helped you. My engine is a 2010 Yamaha 115
Yes but you risk damage to the top and the top is pretty expensive, if you going to have the boat a while , buy the tool soooo worth it , you will thank me later, if not you will spend like 1h hitting it to get it off , I tried
I just got my end cap today and my tool comes in tomorrow, hopefully I do everything right , my only worry now is that it just doesn’t work electronically lol mechanic said it was all good electronically but just leaked hydraulic fluid so I’m going to replace the cap and also I hope I don’t make an error over filling or under filling the cylinders with hydraulic fluid
@@SDADDYWSL1TR3Y ...even the Marinetech tool doesn't always work...I've had to air chisel the cap to break it free more than once...that's why it's silly to not buy the cap with the seals...you should be considering the cap as a wear item...
What about the center one i have my shaft out but can't get the cap off. The bottom looks like the bottom of the ones you took off then the top has the thing the round pin goes threw connecting it to the motor. I can't get either end off and can't find nothing about the center one
@@SWFLFISH my tilt and trim has 3 caps . One in the center with a rid that connects to the motor with a pin,like that holds on a Reece hitch, threw it on the top end you disconnect. No worries I have my cap off now the bottom unscrews I just used a pipe wrench
@@codyreece7871the two he changed were the trim cylinders. The one in the center is the tilt cylinder. Usually the dust caps get clogged up with salt and debris causing corrosion on the shaft which then causes the inner seals to leak. Im changing my tilt seals today but not seeing any videos on this.
@@ride-it-outtimandtoni232 I ended up getting my off. The bottom round thing on the shaft unscrews. I just took the oring off and used a pipe wrench to unscrew it

Thank you , I will start to include the links, thank you for watching, hope it helped you out
This was a brilliant video but you didn't replace the Tilt cap! The Tilt cap looked mashed up too.
Yes it looked mashed but the inside was perfect and it was not leaking after I put in the o-ring , thanks for watching

Is there anyway to remove it without buying a specific tool

@@SDADDYWSL1TR3Y how did you make out? I may want to do this at the end of the season.
@@juju1896 no success, tool does not work on stubborn stuck caps lol

I don’t understand?
