Yamaha trim and tilt problem
 

I have an 89 Yamaha Excell 225 and the t and t seem to have an internal oil leak. It pumps up and down fine but will not hold motor up. Anyone know somebody who can fix it? I have asked around at a few places and so far have not found someone who wants to work on it...Charlie

Just curious as to what reasons you are given that no one wants to work on it?

Obviously the cyl has a internal seal failure. Should be an easy rebuild but I'm not familiar with your particular setup.

Many dealers or repair shops will not work on a motor that old. I was hoping someone knows a reputable repair shop that will work on an old motor...Charlie

I haven't used them but guys hear swear by Gateway Marine in highlands. Authorized Yammie shop.

Only problem is the ride from LH.
