I have a 2000 Glastron 205 GX with a 5.0 L Volvo engine & Volvo SX outdrive. My trim suddenly quit working. If I go back by the trim unit and move the wire coming off the trim motor is works. The wire has a coupler on it and then snakes back behind the trim unit. I can't tell if it plugs into another coupler or is wired directly into the wiring harness. I could sure use some advice.

Here is a 50A circuit breaker on the engine that feeds the main power to the trim pump. Check that you have power (use a meter) on the connector that feeds the trim pump.
There is also a 10A fuse on the pump. Check them both.

I'm having a similar problem. I don't know where this fuse is, does anyone one have a picture, I have 12v going to the motor, but I ohm the wires out on the motor blue and green and it shows OL I don't see where a 10am fuse could be. Also is this the right motor for my boat. Need be replaced http://www.proboatparts.com/ARCO-6227-Tilt-Trim-Motor-p1197.html

But I wod really like a detailed description of this fuse, my relay clicks, and I have power to the motor......

You need to start your own thread Trent, this thread belongs to Mike and his problem.
