I have 115Sho with close to 400hrs, no wear like that!!I have around 130 hours on a 2019 115 SHO. Everything is great. I am noticing some wear on trim/tilt bracket but I'm assuming normal. What do you guys think?
It actually just started making a slight grinding noise. I was going to check the fluid, it almost sounds like there is air in the system.I have 115Sho with close to 400hrs, no wear like that!!
Does it sound like it’s grinding when trim/tilting??
When you trim/tilt on trailer does it grind the scoured areas??It actually just started making a slight grinding noise. I was going to check the fluid, it almost sounds like there is air in the system.
When I trim up it sounds fine. If I trim down its starts making abnormal noise. It doesn't look to be making contact with the scoured areas unless I shake the foot side ti side then it touches. Almost like a failed bearing some where. This is my first four stroke so wasnt sure if it was normal.When you trim/tilt on trailer does it grind the scoured areas??
Do you use something to jam in there when trailering (Yamaha makes a metal sleeve for the purpose that fits on ram, but the one I had for F115 didn’t fit Sho, so I now use a piece of plywood)..
Trim motors last much longer when supported whike trailering.
Here is the wear mine has..When I trim up it sounds fine. If I trim down its starts making abnormal noise.

I only use a transom saver while towing.
Wow big difference! Guess I'll have to bring mine in and have them look at it.Here is the wear mine has..

Sorry to derail Chas, back to your original questions, mine has been great.Have about 100 hours on motor
Any issues should I be aware of. What can I expect in the future?
Thank you.I wanted to update you guys. My issue is due to worn steering tube bushings on both sides.
