Just replaced the tilt/trim motor on a Yamaha 50, 2 stroke. Anyone know the torque specs to tighten it down evenly?

I appreciate the info. I'm old school. Not sure about the Nm stuff. To translate, you're saying 2.9 foot pounds?

 

[racerone]

so---35 / 40 inch-lbs.

Torque is expressed in pound feet. Not foot pounds.

Many get it backwards.
