Anyone know if there is still a forum just for E-Tech owners? I used to go through e Nation but when BRP collapsed so did E- Nation. I joined up for Barnacle bills and I read posts but I couldn't find a way to make a post. There's some stuff on the hull truth but I ended up having the same problem.

Just so you know or if somebody out there has info that I need, I have a 2009 Evinrude 115 E-Tec. Model number e115 DFX SEF.

I'm having problems with my trim and tilt. I have good power coming from the battery to the first lug on the outboard and the trim relay comes right off of that power lug. So I know I'm getting power. 12.7 volts. If I use the up button the motor runs very slow and I read a bunch of blogs about the relays going bad. They're a sealed unit. Wondering how to test to see if it's my relay or my trim motor. Also, wondering if you can remove the trim motor while the outboard is still on the boat. The wiring alone looks like a real pain.

If anybody knows of a specific E-Tech forum or has had this problem please advise. When I go to The parts House, the year of my motor is in there but I actually can't pull up my model number, which I thought was odd.

see link

excellent resource ... and good search utility lots of experts to coach you out of problems

just disconnect the connector with blue green to the trim motor and apply bat & grd directly to wires to the trim motor . probably bad seals if trim does not perform

reverse bat-grd and motor with switch direction up or down ... if ok then possible bad relay contacts .

I couldn't find that, I'll look again. Thanks for the help by the way and the pdf. As far as the model numbers, I know the conversion, it's when I went to the place to buy parts online it doesn't show my model...just some that are like it. I guess trim relays and motors are all the same that year. A little puzzling.

2009 ETEC are all fuel infected but FICHT had F


with T&T your model is dPX SEF not DFX SEF

maybe just mispunched like a F
