Hinge Pin Help....

[Seafordguy]

Before I f it up, how do I get the "cover" off the hinge pins?

Stainless cover with 2 6 sided screws in the side. Obviously I Have removed the screws but It doesn't want to come off?

What ya got?

I have been looking for the camera for 30 minutes.

Bravos, the trim sensor is NOT mounted on the ring, it is attached to the trim rams

OK, I take it we're still working on the trim down problem.
This is the trim sensor that I was refering to in the other thread.
This sets the trim limits up/down.
I've never messed with it on the Bravo, haven't needed to, but it was a similar settup on the TRS I used to have.
Again, I am far from an expert on this, but trying to help out with what little I know.

If your talking about what I think you are - that stainless cover is a high performance hinge pin ... i.e. there is not a pin underneath it......

No, Bouy unfortunately I moved on from the trim problem and figured I'd work on that once I got the engines back in and the drives back on and had that extra weight working for me.

I don't have the trim indicators bolted to the hinge pin like you have Bouy, but I think we are getting closer with that Pic from BAM.

It has 2 small 6 hexed bolts in it and the center is threaded.....

The thread is to install an adapter tool and to use a slide hammer

The tool part number is 91-63616. It will thread on to a slide hammer

Thanks MERCMAN - I appreciate the help. I'm sure I'll be back for more in the upcoming days.
