Yamaha F200 to F300 Trim Motor (2020 and later) PT619NM--SEI
Description Yamaha F200 to F300 Trim Motor (2020 and later)
Overview
This YAMAHA trim motor is the mechanical power source for the hydraulic trim system. It converts electrical energy into rotational motion to drive the pump, which generates the hydraulic pressure required for the trim cylinders.

Recommended operating conditions
This trim motor is intended for use on outboard motors in a marine environment. It must be installed in the dry conditions of the trim housing, protected from direct immersion. Before installation, it is essential to verify compatibility using the motor’s serial number. The electrical connection must respect the original polarity to prevent damage. Light lubrication of the contacts is recommended during installation.
Technical Benefits
- Complete restoration of the electrical operation of the hydraulic trim circuit
- Resistance to vibrations and mechanical shocks inherent in marine use
- Protection of the windings against moisture thanks to the original housing
- Guaranteed compatibility with the original outboard motor connectors and mountings
- Simple replacement, without modifying the existing wiring
Usage and maintenance tips
- Check the condition of the brushes and commutator before replacing the entire motor: sometimes only the brushes are worn
- Rinse and dry the trim housing before installation to prevent premature corrosion
- Use dielectric grease on electrical connectors to prevent oxidation
- Operate the trim system several times after installation to bleed air from the circuit
- Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level in the trim reservoir
FAQ
How can I tell the difference between a trim motor failure and a hydraulic failure?
A simple test can help distinguish between them: if the trim motor is running (audible noise) but the system does not move or moves only slightly, the problem is hydraulic (pump, cylinders, fluid). If the motor makes no noise despite a proper power supply, the problem is electrical (motor, relay, fuse).
Is the motor serial number really necessary to place an order?
Yes, it is essential for YAMAHA motors. Series updates and manufacturer modifications have led to changes in components that are sometimes not visible to the naked eye. Verifying the serial number helps avoid ordering an incompatible part, costly product returns, and prolonged downtime for the boat.
What is the lifespan of a YAMAHA trim motor?
The lifespan of a trim motor depends heavily on the overall maintenance of the hydraulic system, frequency of use, and sailing conditions. On a well-maintained motor that is regularly flushed with fresh water, a trim motor can operate without issues for 10 to 15 years. Premature failures are often due to corrosion of electrical contacts or contamination of the hydraulic circuit.
