FunBar1 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have a Yamaha F115 4 stroke, and the tilt is broken. The motor is now stuck in the highest up position. Is there some way to lower it safely? Once I get it down, is there a way to manually raise it? Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim33042 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 There is a screw on the side of the motor to release the fluid, and then retighten screw. This will help you get it down. Otherwise it is a manual turn the screw and lift up on engine to raise it, until you get the problem fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jh141 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Port side, hole in bracket with a slot head screw. Loosen screw VERY SLOW and the motor should come down. Keep hands and feet clear!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotthereelworld Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I have a trim issue and have had to raise the lower the motor by hand a lot recently. The motor is not light to pick up. You also need to have the raise button pushed to pick it up. As I'm usually by myself, I put a rubber band around the button on the throttle so that it was squeezing the button and then picked the motor up by the skeg. I recommend using two hands to do so.
