Hey Guys,
When cleaning my boat after my last outing I discovered oil leaking around the ram of my power tilt, the oil is now contaminated. So does anybody have any experience in changing the oil seal on a Honda 50 power tilt? the one that that seals the ram. It looks like a bugger of a job with specialist tools required to get the collar off.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
BB

Re: Honda 50 power tilt
Question is how bad is the leak and do you want to spend the money to get it fixed. The seal kit will cost you about $100 and the labour from a techy will cost about another $100. The main issue with doing it yourself is that specialised tools are required in most cases. I had a leaking ram on my previous 50hp 4 stk Yammy and as the leak wasn't too bad I just topped it (the hydrolic oil) up every few months and it continued to work fine - just kept an eye on it and wiped dust and oil build up of the main housing every time I saw it leaking... The best way to avoid the leaking is to brace your motor with a motor support when tilted up and travelling (especially on corrigatioms) and not to hit anything when boating! Either way it will cost you quite a few bucks.

Tool is pretty cheap, I had a yamaha knockoff one from supercheap batteries. I ordered all the orings from the tates for 25 bucks. It was a little tricky to remove the trim assembly and you havr to be careful with the trim cap (metal lid of the cylinder) but all up a 2 or 3 hr job

Damn it Theo! Where was FFF when I had my problem. I also found You Tube handy when it came to fixing / servicing my Yammy. There are a few entries on the www re fixes on the Honda trim that may help.
