JD,Got a call from Lewis today (don't you just love this site? ), said the center ram on your Yam is leaking. I take it the trim/tilt motor looks like this...You'll have to support the motor, than remove the circlip that holds the upper end to the motor. Drive the pin out, then loosen the bottom bolts of the tilt motor mount. this should allow it to swing down. Then you'll need a spanner wrench (hammer and drift work well also) to remove the end gland. The ram has to come out to remove the gland and any seals. May have to cut and or loosen the pump wires to drop her far enough...Hope this helps...
