Proper tools are important. It saves money, and time.
Absolutely!
Good call on replacing those end caps. You don't need any saltwater in there.
You bet ! Thx for feed back!
Oh, hydraulic oil just started today when I started working on it as well
it never ends lol. Good luck !
Do you have a list of everything you ordered to rebuild the 3 ram system my 00 mercury 150 has a hole in the tilt/trim motor sonim gonna rebuild it all.....any info would be greatly appreciated.....your video was a big help tho!!
Thank you and plz sub the channel.Some parts are listed in my video description. Go to Crowley's marine and look at complete part diagrams after selecting your engine make and mode. if you have questions, let me know
Hi .. can you please clarify something for me? I see you used transmission fluid to insert the two rams after you changed the seals... but then you filled up the reservoir with gear oil? Also, what is the name of the special tool you got from Amazon to turn the covers and disassemble?
Hi Jay, please sub the channel if you haven't done so. I used the transmission fluid to fill the reservoir as well. The pump I used is called lower unit gear oil pump. Sorry for the confusion. The tool is listed in description box with the link, it is called spanner tool, make sure you pick the right tool listed for your outboard. Happy boating !!
Once you got the end caps back on after replacing the seals, how did you get the rods raised back up without any fluid in the system?
I added the fluid but it wasnt complete empty to begin with.
Hi thanks for the video. I noticed to u replaced the trim release bolt. How do you get the bolt completely out?
Plz sub the channel if you havent done so. The trim release bolt is plastic, if its old, the head may break. Mine did break, I heat up the tip of flat screw driver and made a slot in plastic part and got it unscrewed. Good luck!!
Hi FKCam - I’ve gotten the cap off and the piston out (2:50) and it looks like there’s some water mixed in the reservoir. How would I get that out? Thanks!
Use a turkey baster with a little more 1/4" hose attached to reach down into the bottom of the reservoir. Hope this helps.
Thanks! @@FKCamVlogs
Another question: what size fitting did you use to pump the hydraulic fluid/oil into the small hole at timestamp 10:18? @@FKCamVlogs
@@anthonyjackson7433 its the hand pump that I use for lower unit gear oil. I think it is about 10 bucks
I have that exact motor but 2003. I'm so glad to find your channel to help with my repairs. Currently, my motor seems sluggish to trim up/down and it will slowly fall back down when trimmed up. The fluid is full. What troubleshooting would you do in a situation like mine?
I would start with seals, most of time that is the culprit.
You most likely have air still in the system..fully raise and lock motor then open pressure relief valve and let it fall slowly to bleed air...now raise it back up and lock it..check fluid in up position and repeat until it holds..good luck
My top seal is leaking the middle piston. Have you replaced that before? It seems harder…
Its almost the same. There are some good videos on CZcams for it with good details. Good luck !
Hello does it kit comes with all 3 cylinder seals or just one. Cannot figure out on crowley marine if the repair kit is just for one cylinder or all 3 of them, Thanks for great video
Dado if you look in description I have a amazon link to kit and it displays the seals. I think it brings all the seals. Please sub the channel.
Well, this was about the third or fourth time that I have gone to your channel for health. I have the same exact motor the same exact boatI live in Perry Hall, Maryland.
Did the water pump last year ran into the fuel issue with old fuel lines I’m working on trying to figure out why the motor gets really warm actually about 170 180° on most before I throttle into it to cool it off just wondering if you have ran into this issue I am going to clean the cooling system hopefully this weekend if it clears up wondering if you had any input as well as what other problems should I come up against with this boat? Any kind of fuel tank, issues or anything like that?
Donald I am glad my channel is helpful. You can clean up thermostats and check at what temperature they open up, usually it is marked on them. Also, 175 is normal but if goes over 175 then check water inlet holes, impeller and thermostats. About fuel, I always add stablizer
Hello. I just trying to fiks my tilt on a Mariner 135hp V6. Soo, like you did in this video i alsow did it. I manage to mess up te plastic plugg(reliev valv) . Did it come out easly or was it lot off trubble?
It was trouble. Glad video was a help
FK & Camera og you had a video off you geting the plastic plugg out it would be alot of help😅
East fix. Hammer chisel. Did mine still good 2 years later. You can buy the tool for the caps but normally it’s easy to use hammer and chisel in the holes in the caps, The whole job with all seals replaced 30mins with bleeding aswel. 🤷♂️
Awesome work... Thx for the input
How did you get both trim rods down? Manual push after releasing pressure?
Yes release pressure, then you can push down or open. You have to wiggle to pull them out because of rubber seals if pushed all the way down
Hey Bob or can anyone answer my question, I ended up taking out that pressure release valve, it was hard I had to heat up a screwdriver and get it unscrewed, I did that and everything is great but I don’t not know how to get both of the trim rods in a downward position? Did you guys end up figuring it out? And if so can I get a detailed response on how to get them on the downward position because they are both sticking out and they are not moving
If you have an engine with no tilt and trim do you need a diffrent bracket to fit it or can you use whats with the engine and then just fit it under the original bracket that holds the engine to the boat.Great shots thanks.
Hi Angus I am trying to understand your question, your motor has no tilt and trim and you are asking about the bracket that can hold the engine up?
Sorry yes no tilt and trim it's just a straight forward mercury 20hp 2 stroke.Do you need any other parts Ive heard of saddles etc to connect it to the outboard
hi thanks for this video, can you explain to me how you purge the system? I think I missed a step because my engine restarts all alone some times. I don't have an oil leak. if you can detail the steps that would be super nice !! thank you in advance
Halid plz sub the channel if it helped you. Fil the oil in system, then lower and raise engine few times, till you see oil coming out of container, then add more oil if possible and plug the drain hole. Hope this helps.
FK & Camera thank you for your answer, I liked and follow your channel 🙂
during the step where I raise and lower the engine should I remove the tank cap?
until now I have carried out this step keeping the cap screwed on the oil tank ...
thank you for your return 😉
I cannot get the spanner bolt off for the life of me what should I do
Make sure all pressure is released before attempting. Use wd 40 and lubricate good, the salt makes it difficult to open.
Hi, thanks for the video. Good info! How much oil does the system take?
I filled till start it pouring out after purging. I can look into manual how much it takes.
@@FKCamVlogs ok. I've been trying to find out how much but no luck so far. I just found a manual though, so I'll look it up myself.
I just want to make sure I have enough before I start the job.
Thanks again 👍
Did your trim go up at all when the seals were leaking? My trim motor works up and down great and has plenty of fluid but it won’t physically move the outboard up
Yes it did but dont forget, once there is air, it may seem working but won't lift the motor all the way.
@@FKCamVlogs can it be purged by trimming down with switch and then lift back up manually using release screw?
You can purge by loosening the bolt and bring it up and down few times for air to clear and add fluid as needed. It has to be lifted with trim motor not manually.
instablaster.
v.good
Thx !
fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
hi thanks for this video, can you explain to me how you are trapping the system? I think I missed a step because my engine restarts all alone some times. I don't have an oil leak. if you can detail the steps that would be super nice !! thank you in advance
Can you just replace the cap?
Plz subscribe the channel if you haven't done so, and yes you can just replace the cap, if issue is just the cap.
Hi Fk, my best compliments for your tutorial. I HAVE IMPORTANT QUESTION: it seems that the cup you have to remove by the "oil tank" is also the air-purge.(sorry I'm italian). I saw that to fill the pistons with oil you had to take a pump dedicated to this use. But, once the pistons are filled the oil will not come out of the hole you removed the cap from. In practice, when you purge the air, can you afford to lose some oil, as happened to me, without worrying about topping up the lost one (a few drops)? I have an Evinrude Etec 150, but the whole trim system is identical!
Thanks Karl and yes don't be afraid to loose oil when purging. Hope this helps
You wouldn’t happen to know the part number for this seal kit would you. No boat shop will give me a part number they say I have to buy from them.
If you look in video description, it has a link to seal kit on Amazon.
For a 2001 Optimax 200xl DFI- the Merc Qsilver Trim O Ring Kit part number is: 811612A 3 "O Ring Kit" Refer too your Service manual online at mercury for your specific model. Kit cost me $30 in May 2022
👍👍👍👍
Thanks !!
Don't use rags. The fibers will cause poor performance.

with all due respect, why would you not replace the caps, use proper tools and proper fluid. i think you are saving a little money now but are setting yourself up for failure!!
James, that's a good question. First, like many others, I used transmission fluid because it is hydraulic quality fluid, secondly one cap was replaced,the other had only cosmetic issue, which did not affect performance or the durability of the product. Lastly, tools were used that were recommended and some that were handy than whats recommended. Safety takes precedence over money. Nothing was skipped to save a buck or two
Too much editing, I could not follow anything you were doing.
Roy if you are working on same project, inbox me using my email from about section in you tube. I will try to help you.
@@FKCamVlogs thanks but I haven't got that far yet. I tested my tilt motor and at least the motor works but does not raise or lower, probably low on fluid because of bad seals. One step at a time but the screw is stuck for the hydraulic fluiid reservoir, so can't add more till I can remove the screw. Hopefully I can get it removed this week. If I need more help I'll try and figure out your inbox, never used that before, thanks.
How did you take out the plastic bolt out
I’m working in same project
If my end cap is the only thing bad what do I do?
