Remove power trim?
I just bought a used 85 hp outboard, and the power trim is shot (3 of 4
hoses are bad, along with trim motor. Condition of cylinders unknown but no
reason to think they're bad). The boat I'm putting it on has an aftermarket
trim unit (cmc PT-130, works great), so I plan on using that. Should I
remove cylinders or plug them and leave them on? I guess my only concern
about removing them is the prospect of motor flying up in reverse. If I
keep 'em on, I don't know if motor will kick up if I hit a stump, since I
would expect them to seize up from lack of use eventually. Or am I missing
something (not unlikely) ?Thanks, Ray |

| See if the motor was available without power trim. Then check out the
parts/service manual and see how the trim/reverse lock is set up.
