Hello all
I need to replace the trim motor. 1983 mercury on xr4
Does the engine have to come off or will the motor brackets slide if all bolts are removed? Also, what to do with the steering cable?

well. its been a few weeks, but finally got the trim motor replaced.
Boat was running fine, until last week. When engine is at idle, just fine. As soon as I put it in gear, I get a knocking noise that isnt keeping pace with the RPM........Every few seconds it clicks LOUDLY.....Any ideas?
