Installation Instructions for a Power Trim Kit for an Evinrude Outboard Motor
- 1). Remove the negative cable from the boat's battery. Remove the snap-rings from the pins with a pair of snap-ring pliers. Apply a light coating of white marine grease to the lower and upper pins. Set pins and snap-rings aside on a clean, lint-free cloth.
- 2). Move the trim/tilt assembly into position on the stern bracket. Insert the lower pin and secure the pin using snap-rings. Set the thrust rod in place across the bottom of the transom bracket. Tighten the thrust rod retaining nut snugly with an adjustable wrench.
- 3). Connect the "push to connect" fitting to connect the wires to the trim/tilt control. Manually extend the hydraulic cylinder rod until it's aligned with the holes in the swivel bracket.
- 4). Push the upper pin into place. Secure the pin using the remaining snap-rings. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the cap from the hydraulic reservoir and run the trim/tilt system up and down through at least five cycles.
- 5). Add hydraulic fluid as needed after every up and down cycle of the system. Replace the cap on the hydraulic reservoir.
