I recently used my 1997 Yamaha C90 over the weekend. When I tilted the engine all the way up to put boat in the water and then tried to tilt engine back down I just heard the trim/tilt engine running but it would not go down. I tried again for about 45 seconds and no tilt down. I noticed that I had a little more to go to the 100% full tilt up postion so I tilted the rest of the way up. Then I again tried the tilt down and it went down just right and acted normal the rest of the day. <br />What was that all about? :confused:

Re: Yamaha Tilt Question

check your fluid level and fluid condition.<br />also check your ram selas and rams for signs of deterioration? look at it very closely ram corrosion is hard to spot.
