I'm looking for a power tilt unit, relay and switch for My Yamaha 2 stroke outboard.

The engine's identification plate carries the info 50DE 6H5-L-321245 and I think it's 1986.

I know the tilt unit is the single tilt-ram type without the twin trim-rams seen on the later and bigger engines, i.e. it's tilt only.

Has anybody out there got a Yam manual/parts list that identifies the part number of the tilt unit I need for this engine?

Thanks.

I am aware that I need to find this second hand. My local Yamaha dealer told me it would be cheaper to buy a replacement used engine with PTT than buy a new power tilt unit.

Both of the sites you've suggested are better than anything I've been able to find by surfing and will be very helpful. I think the part number for the unit I'm looking for is 6H5-43840-EK that was replaced by 6H5-43840-04-EK

Thanks again.

I guess second hand is the only way to source this, at least a fair price.

Early Yam numbers doesn't match their number/year lookup matrix but parts seem to be these

'DETO' just identifies it as marketed in Europe.
Help might be available here

If so it is available in the US for $2600

Certainly would make me think twice...

Edit: $700 off ebay.com. Add shipping, customs, fee & VAT..
