Well that was QUICK! Today’s video is my 5 Star Marine Mercury power trim rebuild experience AND Trim Installation! In our previous DIY video, I showed you how to remove a Mercury power trim from your boat and I mentioned that I would be getting mine rebuilt by a company located in Florida called 5 Star Marine. You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/mlOBvmcY12w
In short, 5 Star Marine did a FANTASTIC job on my trim rebuild and I am super pleased with their service. Check out their page at https://trimandtilt.com and don’t be afraid to hit up Devon and his team if you have a trim you want to rebuild and want to avoid the high costs of buying a new one. I’ll show you exactly what it cost me and how long everything took.
This was also my first time installing a power trim, so check out the second half of the viedo and I’ll show you what was easy and where I struggled. Hopefully you pick up a couple of tips for your own install project! I also discover an alarming situation once the cowl comes of the motor! 😱😱

Who would have thought rebuilding a trim was so easy?? Great job 5 Star Marine, thank you for the great service!
Hey Dan, have you ever had your trim make a decent squeaking sound when trimming down? My Dad's 90hp Mercury trim goes up and down really smooth but when trimming down just squeaks/squeals way louder then when it's trimming up (it looks to be very similar to your trim motor). Checked the trim oil but it's full and no leaks. So just kind of stumped. I have heard of other Mercury owners complain about the same thing with new or old motors. Thanks
I maybe in the same boat 🙂 myself, my 115 ETEC lift is gurgling and stuttering when not used for a bit, however for now it is still working fine just need to work out the air with a few lift/drops. It also drops over a few days, unless locked up. I have been told I am in for a 2-2.5k replacement. So if it comes to that I will surely look at this option. Thanks for a great video for all boat outboard motor owners.
What is your preference on fuel stabilizer. Curious about this K100 I seen. What do you spray on your engine to clean it. So much shit out there a guy doesn't know what to use. Thanks.
Hey I was wondering what do you use to clean your motor to get it to shine? Mine is in great shape but I’m not sure what I should clean it with because I don’t want to damage the paint. Thanks
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching them, always learn something from them
Wow, that’s fast, and the customer service is a plus these days, I think you did well Dan. You do such a great job on informing people of what they need to know and appreciate the data. Watch out for those sneaky logs and branches in the water with that newly rebuilt trim. Thumbs up for “5 Star Marina”.
