What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[TinnyTime]

Dang trim/tilt pivot pins on my kicker were seized (top and bottom pivots), so the trim/til would bind up the farther it extended out.

It required major heating (tig torch), was a real struggle.
I cut half way thru the pin before resorting back to heat/hammer/punch.

Please do. I have pretty much decided that having the top without canvas to match doesn't make any sense.

Sent you guys PM's.

I may have to do that same thing. Is that a mercury pro kicker? Is there a platic bushing in there? Cheers

Yeah it's a mercury pro kicker.
There are plastic bushings, check the parts fiche to understand the configuration before starting yours.
I was surprised just how seized it could get, considering it's seated against plastic.
