Performance & Practical Benefits

This trim and tilt motor shines in the small but important moments — when you’re nudging the bow down to cut through chop, trimming up to slide across a shallow flat, or lifting your engine at the end of the day. With this motor installed, those movements feel smooth and sure. The motor engages cleanly, the response is immediate, and you can make fine adjustments without hesitation.

The epoxy-coated armature protects critical internal wiring from moisture, vibration, and heat — all common challenges in tight outboard compartments. Copper bushings or heavy duty bearings ensure clean rotation, giving the trim system a solid, sturdy feel even after heavy use. Over time, you’ll notice how consistent it stays. No straining, no sluggish lift, no uneven movement — just steady performance that keeps your boat manageable in all kinds of conditions.

For smaller outboards like the thirty and forty horsepower platforms, a healthy trim and tilt system is especially important. It affects speed, fuel efficiency, comfort, and how your hull interacts with the water. A dependable motor like this one doesn’t just improve convenience — it genuinely improves the way your boat performs.

Why Buy OEM

A Mercury Marine OEM trim and tilt motor means you’re getting parts designed for long-term strength, correct fitment, and marine-ready reliability. Aftermarket options often cut corners on magnetic components, wiring seals, and internal bearings — weaknesses that show up quickly in salty or vibration-heavy environments. With OEM, you’re investing in durability and in the confidence that your equipment will work the way it should, season after season. It’s the kind of choice experienced boaters make because they know the headaches that come from shortcuts.
