Great deal on that motor Brock .I have the Mercury version of this setup, that control switch comes apart and is very easy to clean up the contacts (mine was in very bad condition). Also the limit switch controls max trim out and is set so motor doesn't leave the side guides, pushing both up and up/out gives full lift. I changed the wiring around to make "up" my trim adjuster and up/out the limit bypass, just simpler up =trim up, down=trim down, push "up/out" & "up" for full up
I’ve got two of these 50hp Mariners on my old Lund Tyee. This video was very helpful as far as understanding which wires for what. Not many in this year and the years surrounding. Thanks!
@@smithysspeedshop is it the one one located in the fluid reservoir. i have a problem with my when i trim up and let's sit, it just slowly came down by itself. Thanks for the reply
Our boat has this motor, my husband lowered the trim to cover for winter, now we can’t get the trim to raise(it makes noise in the lower button, how can we raise it manually to drive it to the shop for repair?
Sorry for the delay. If you disconnect the hose, you will be able to manually lift the motor. Do be aware that it is very heavy and may need an engine crane/a few strong people. If you disconnect the hoses, be sure that you keep any body parts clear as it may drop suddenly

They’re a good old motor if they’re treated well. Shame that people just throw them away.
hi there best ever for me needed that drowing💪
your a ledgend mate. thanx heaps
How do u bleed the trim on that motor n if u could make a video of that
Please explain how manually work the tilt trim system
Can only be lowered by releasing the pressure valve. Can’t be manually raised if the pump fails (to my knowledge).
@@smithysspeedshop how do you releasing the pressure valve?
@@phongsavathkhamatsmay5436 the pressure valve is just a thumb screw. It can be turned by hand (unless it is siezed) and the fluid will flow through.

@@smithysspeedshop I have this same motor. I cannot get the motor to raise on its own. Where do you suggest I start?

Sorry for the delayed reply. Is the motor making noise when you press the raise button?
I just bought an '82 Mariner there's not many videos on these motors but how is yours running are you liking it
Runs well. Yet to have this one out on the water. Hopefully soon I’ll get to give it a good run!
Do you know a impeller rebuild kit for this motor ?
Where in the world are you? Amazon and Ebay do have impeller kits listed.
How can I manually raise the motor?
