1989 Yamaha PRO50LF Tilt and Trim Snapped Manual Release Screw

[SoylentGreeen]

Hey all,

I have a 1989 PRO50LF with T&T 6H3-43800-04 EK. I am replacing the electric motor assembly. Upon inspection, I have found that the manual release screw has broken off about half-way.

I'm guessing the procedure is to drill it out? Since it turns clockwise to release, do I use a right-hand bit for this? Any advice/hints/tips/tricks appreciated as this is my first outboard.

Thank you
