I am removing my Fastrac Power Trim Unit for overhaul/replacement. I have it loose on the stern bracket, all that is left to do is un-string the wiring harness. The wiring is mostly disconnected at this point, but I have 2 hangups:
1. The manual says that after disconnecting the Trim Motor Connector (green & blue wires) in the engine compartment, I need to extract the pins from the lower half of the connector, to be able to pull those wires out through the lower engine housing. The manual says I need an extractor tool to do this. I have probed around inside that connector with a jeweler's screwdriver to see if I could find a pin release dentent , but no luck. What is the trick to this?
2. After I get the above done, I need to pull the PTT wiring harness (3 cables in a wire mesh sleeve) out through the bottom engine housing. There is a rubber seal/grommet that I need to remove in order to pull these wires. It is located on the bottom port side of the housing, just forward of center. I've tried to work it loose with no success. I can't get a good look at it, and I can't find it in the parts breakout in the manual. How do I get it loose?
Thanks
