MJ any snow yet?

Shrimp, thanks for the input and will disreguard the PM.
Yanking the solinoids is the cheapest place to start, will start from there and if that dont work, will start screaming, kicking, knocking out the neighbor. ;D

Well . . . If it comes to that . . . I got a few in stock . . . but you can probably just get a motor for cheap. Problems like the one you having now is why I love the old school huge single ram setups with the external pumps. K.I.S.S. baby.

Here's a two wire setup that I have up for sale now.

I have another that was brand new in 2003. I even have the receipt from the previous owner who paid $2038.88 (parts and labor) to have the entire unit replaced.

Shrimp, you know how to remove the solinoids ??
Looking at this pic. I see some small clamps on the corners of the solinoid, unless they are part of the unit itself.
Sorry for Hijacking the thred MAC.

that looks like a three wire, just jump from the red to the green or red to the blue and see if the motor runs,( make sure the black wire is grounded) as far as removing the selenoids, teh screws are hidden in this pic, but they are orinited vertically, above and below each selenoid

Hammer, no need to pull the motor off the boat. I replaced my whole T&T assembly. I was able to remove the starboard motor mounting bracket without removing the motor from the boat. Get out there and jump them solenoids so we know what ya got....it ain't raining that hard ;D

Just be glad your not working on a 80's Yammy.

Thats what mine was, and all went well!!

When I did mine what i did was put a jack under the leg and just gave it a couple of pumps to stabilize it.

Then I removed the steering cable.

Then all side bracket bolts, Be careful here, they can be corroded pretty bad!

Now the 3 bolts holding the bracket to the boat.

Here is the worse part! Undo the steering tube bolt, now you will have to hammer the crap out of the bracket to get it off the tube. No words of wisdom here, using chisel hammer what have you and how ever you have to bang that thing off!! Spray it, heat it, and it will go!

Remember, the only thing holding the motor now is the one side bracket!

After that is off the rest is easy!! I left mine apart the whole winter with the jack under it.

When you put it back toghter make sure all bolts are clean and have a small amount of antiseize on them!! Reassemble and enjoy!!

I'm going from memory here, so don't hold me to it, but...

You don;t have to remove the steering cable.  Back the nut off, loosen the other nut on the steering tube while your there.

Undo the mounting bolts throught the transom.

Remove the 2 ? bolts going through the starboard mount bracket into the T & T unit.  

Now, the mounting bracket should rotate up out of the way.  You can remove the outter nut on the tilt tube and then the motor bracket comes right off.  Edit here: May not come off, may slide down the steering cable and rotate up out of the way. I seem to recall getting the advice of placing a block of wood under that side of the tilt tube to help support the weight.

At this point you'll have access to all that you need.  I do remember that it wasn't a difficult job at all.  I picked up a used T&T unit for under $200 and just swapped the whole thing out.  I had some questionalble hydraulics that would let the motor fall over time.  As the problem progressed it would lose trim while running.
