Hi all.
The tilt and trim on my Yamaha 70 is suspect. The switch gets it up out of the water no problem, and down as well. The issues is that there is a small leak I think from the piston. The engine slowly floats back to vertical if I don't brace it as well.
I have heard anecdotally that this is common on Yamahas, and not surprising on 15 year old ones.
Does anyone have this unit? I think it is the same Tilt and Trim as the Yamaha 115 2 stroke, as well as others? Where can I add hydraulic fluid? I did buy some leak-fixing liquid that I will try to use, as the repair at the marina supposedly runs north of $1500, which is lamost what the engine is worth.
Thanks
Sal
