Update:my truck hydraulic had a leak and is now no longer just popping but is out.

My regular mechanic doesn’t have the tools to deal with them anymore (semi retired) as of now thinking of using Greenwell Springs Marine but can anyone recommend a place that won’t stick me too bad and can do it somewhat quick?

Floor jack under foot, lift and secure a 2x4, spray with a lossening agent, tackle next morning. Probably only Allen screws holding motor on.

I read the thread title as Trim “Reaper.” Thought you’d stumbled upon a sweet new trimming apparatus. I am disappoint.

Carry on...

I read it as "Grim Reaper" and took me a min to work up the courage to open it.

OP, I just changed the trim seals in a larger motor without issue. About$75 in parts/oil, from SIM Yamaha.

Youtube is wealth of info on this subject. If you're bent on paying someone to do it, David Wade Marine has treated me fairly in the past, but they got bills to pay too.
