Bought a used boat with a 70 hp Nissan, power tilt/trim works, but makes a terrible squealing noise. I have drained and replaced the fluid, but it is still the same. Any suggestions on how to quiet this thing ???

Re: Tilt Trim

It may be the bearings (upper, lower or both) in the electric motor. I'm not sure of the motor on your particular engine, but some units have a rubber plug on the top and bottom which can be removed to oil it with a drop or two of machine oil.....Than again, some don't , and have to be literally dissmantled to get at them.
