Hello, I have a Merc Optimax 2004 225hp. The pin that's sticking out in the pictures, was wondering if that was supposed to be seated flush? There's a hole on the backside of it can go through, but its not sticking through. That pin is collared and tapered, and doesn't have a small hole in the back of it to put a cotter pin through to hold it. Should I tap it in flush, or is that how its supposed to be? Thanks!

Re: TiltTrim question

Yes, gently tap it in. It is held from coming out when the motor is tilted down. The only time it can come out is when it is fully tilted up like you have it now.
