I reckon this is a great site, I'm learning heaps.<br />1st question is, can you remove the trim and tilt assembly from the Outboard whilst it is on the boat. The motor is a 1998 yamaha 70Hp owned by a friend of mine. It has only 58 hours on clock (recently purchased), the trim & tilt stopped the other day and later started working, today it stopped altogether. <br />2nd question is, I have the same motor also except it is a 1997 Model with 1600 hrs on clock (still runs great), my forward controls have corroded badly inside, is this common.<br />Both motors are used in salt water.<br />Any comments will be appreciated.
