Outboard Trim Motor

What horsepower? My dad has the whole trim unit from a 2006 or 2007 yamaha 50 that he has been trying to sell for a while.

It’s a 115 4 stroke.

I priced one for my 40 and oem was $330 and the D B Electrical was $60. I gave the aftermarket one a shot and a year later it’s still working fine. Simple swap too.

I have an ebay trim motor on my 2006 F90 Yamaha. It's about a year old and has been fine. For whatever reason, ive had lousy trim motors. The first two were OEM Yamaha. Both were such junk that i figured why not try the cheap route. So the the third one is from ebay. With trim motors not lasting for me, I intend to buy another one just to keep on hand. BTW, OEM from yamaha will not be painted original blue. It will be unpainted black, same as the ebay ones. So the black finish of the cheap ones need not be a deterrent. From the exterior and without taking the ebay one apart, i can't tell any difference between the ebay and OEM.

Good to know. I went ahead and ordered one from Amazon at a savings of $390 from the OEM part.

Just ridiculous.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Not promoting, just adding for reference to my previous post. This is the one I bought/have

Ebay

Been thinking about rebuilding my tilt and trim cylinders on. V6 Yamaha. I don't know where the motor is never looked for it?

I had my starter rebuilt for $16 BTW works great and not $589 OEM.

times, and prices, sure have changed
when my power trim assembly went out on a suzuki 40 it cost $1500 for a new one in 2007

i ended up buying a second hand unit for $500 to fix it

just goes to show how fast prices for things change with outboards
