Tilt / Trim Motor Replacement Merc 115

[Red De Braal]

I need someone to tell me if I need to remove the outboard motor from the boat to replace the tilt/trim-Motor/pump ? This is the 3 ram system. If you have some trick to change it out please share it with all of us. But the way I see it the motor has to come off the boat to get at it. Thanks for all your Help<br />Red !!

Not real sure about this, but you may be able to move just one of the brackets that hold motor to boat. Remove steering tube nut and 2 transom mounting bolts rotate bracket on steering cable and tie up with rope, string, tie wrap. You may need 2/2 or 2/4 to wedge between motor and transom to hold motor.
