Marine Tech Tools 32mm Yamaha Tilt Trim Spanner Wrench (AMT0006), Outboard Trim Tilt Pin Wrench, Trim Caps fit all SHOWA manufactured Units, Yamaha, Honda, Evinrude

Bought this for the tilt trim on my 2003 Honda 225, and it worked perfectly. I also have the one for my Sea Star steering. The wrenches are pricey, but they easily pay for themselves with the money and time saved from taking the boat to the shop.

Very well made and quality material.

So I really needed a tool and the OEM will be delivered just about weeks..I watched the reviews and I hesitated but at the end I ordered one.Come on guys, if you don’t know how to use a tool stay away from the garage, go to the kitchen and help your wife. This is a perfect tool and if you clean the holes and the whole unit from dirt and oil will be fit perfectly.Not so cheap but works well.

Perfect!Back out the pins a 1/4 turn from locked. It will allow you to get the tool on and off easily.Worth the money. I had to return a cheaper tool that almost ruined the trim caps.

Wanted a tool I could trust to get the job done. Too many cheaper tool reviews where the pins or the tool itself broke (don't have time for that!). This tool fit like a glove and worked perfectly. You must keep the tool flat to the cap when removing or re-installing the cap. That goes for any tool of this nature you might use.The AMT0004-38mm fits the Tilt cap.

This trim wrench (AMT0006) worked well for my 2005 Yamaha 115 2-Stroke (Stowa trim/tilt) once I was sent a replacement in the mail. The first wrench was a tad off-center and trying to get things done and get on the water the next day I tried forcing it and turning the trim cap with two pins seated. That didn’t work and I slightly rounded one of the pin holes (all three pins need to be bottomed out). Given the cost of this one-use tool I was annoyed that it didn’t work for me and called customer service. I thought I’d end up returning it as I had to leave a voicemail on their customer service line during business hours but received a call back a minute later. The person on the other end took my story and couldn’t confirm that this was a known issue but to my satisfaction said they’d send a new one to me right away (arrived 2-3 days later).Once I received the new pin wrench i had the caps off in 15 minutes (broke one pin but came with three back-up pins). The job took me around 2-2.5hrs but if you’re mechanically skilled and your trim rods don’t need to be cleaned (mine were all gunked up under the dust skirt and in the primary ram seal seat), it can be done much faster. This is the kind of thing I’d normally pay someone else to do but I can’t wait for the shop for 6 weeks in the middle of summer.A few tips: the breaker bar was helpful (didn’t have one but cheap at harbor freight), broken pins come out easily with a magnet, you may be able to save some $ and replace only the outermost seals/rubber (if I could do it over I’d only replace the main outer seal and dust skirt), make sure your manual release valve isn’t seized up (I had to make a custom fit flat head with a bench grinder as the tabs on mine are mangled), and the Marine Tech Tools youtube video was helpful in conjunction with my yamaha manual.Too bad the same wrench doesn’t have pin holes to remove the tilt cap. I’d have to spend another $70 for that tool but that seal appears to not be leaking so ok for now. The starboard trim cap / dust skirt isn’t leaking anymore so assuming my issue is fixed.I’d give this tool 4.5 stars if had that option. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is because of lost time and frustration with the first tool being drilled off-center.Not sure if a universal spanner wrench would work (looked at the OTC one) but justified buying this specific tool given that I’ve never had a use for a spanner wrench in the past and probably won’t anytime soon.

Perfect for the Yamaha 250 vmax SHO.

I have been in the Marine buisness a long time. This is the second Marine Tech tool I have purchased. First was the Teleflex steering end bracket puller and now this trim end cap tool. Both worked perfectly! Spend the little bit extra and get these tools even if you only have to do the project one time. Totally worth the money to make the job easy and save a bunch of time.
