So I have a 1991 60-HP [ELPTO] 2 stroke
It trims up fine but won’t trim down. If I fiddle with the wires going to what looks like a relay box sometimes trims down. I attached a photo below. Any idea for the part number? I checked Crowley and marine engine but I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks.

Measure voltages, might be the switch and not relay. Need to do some testing

Serial number?

Problem solved it was the relay itself. Thank you
On larger engines they use a pair of separate relays which makes troubleshooting the relay as the problem easy....you just switch places and see if the problem follows the relay.
