Part Numbers & Cross References

What This Part Is Used For

The trim motor powers the hydraulic trim and tilt system, allowing the outboard to raise and lower properly. This helps with performance, trailering, shallow-water operation, and dialing in the correct running angle on the water.

If the trim motor becomes weak or fails, the engine may move slowly, stop responding, or fail to trim at all. Replacing the motor helps restore proper trim and tilt operation and keeps the system working as intended.
