- Thought I would add trim and tilt to my 15hp super Mercury.
Was not easy, I wish that there was an easier cheap way.
Still have to water test it, so not proven yet.
Water test video to come.
Great job mate..luv it, looking for something to suit my 25 hp johno...your idea has given me some ideas ..very similar to what you have done..Thumbs up from me!!
Mate... pretty crafty !! i'll definitely pay that!!
I'd love to see a bit more on the cleaver prop you made too...
keep the vid's up..
Man you are top knotch great stuff!
Correct me if I’m wrong but I suspect you have used the tilt ram and the second ram is the trim ram that is slower thus why it only goes at one speed which is the faster speed of the tilt ram, shouldn’t be an issue on a 15hp other than fine adjustments of trim will be harder than normal. Great job though and I wish my 15hp had this
The 55hp - 65hp Suzuki rams are both single speed (same power throughout the stroke). You are correct that most outboards have extra shorter rams for the trim. There are a few single speed rams capable of trim and tilt (Mercury has some on there V6 outboards) also.
The trim works very well on the 15hp. The speed of trim is a little fast as you may imagine but I got used to that pretty quick.

That's the best mod I've seen for that size motor! Fucking better than any eBay jacking plate, well done mate 👍 Hey what pitch prop you run on that 18? Next stop put on twin motor bike carbs and exhaust modification! 😂
That a great job man
how much more weight are you putting back on the transom ?
I think I have added about 10kgs.
Good point, I will weigh the motor.
I’m not too worried though because the tinny it’s on is a beast.
Awesome mate good job👍
Brill brill 🤩
How do you remove the just left and right clamp brackets off the super
Hi mate,
You need to undo the nut on the pivot tube and also any brackets that tie the two clamp brackets together then they just slide off.
cheers 🍻
Brilliant !!!
Mate that looks whicked, i wish i had one for my 30hp mercury on my 3.7 savage .
We will see how it goes, should be good, I hope.
@@25hpboatracerman when are you talking it out.
Hope this weekend
Good afternoon. What components were used?
The clamp bracket (trim and tilt unit) are off a DT40c Suzuki.
Cheers
Great job but a lot of trouble for a little 15hp.
Ha, so so true mate.
Massive amount of tinkering for sure. Definitely not worth the labour and cost if that’s what i was looking at. I do use that motor a whole heap and smile every time I trim or tilt it.
I just like doing that sort of thing as a hobby, I don’t watch much TV, no video games so tinkering with outboards is great fun.
I guess it’s like me looking at a guy making a model boat, so many hours, he won’t get paid for it it’s not viable etc but it’s his hobby so whatever.
I am a glutton for punishment, I just did it to a 30hp as well.
It breaks up the standard rebuilds for me too.
Hey mate how can I get in contact with you?
What motor are you looking to add trim too?
