I have a 1996 Mariner 60hp Bigfoot ser#06369984 tilt problem. Tilt would not raise with switch on throttle or at motor. I can hear the relay click. I reversed the green and blue wire under the cowl and the tilt went up. Switched them back and the down worked. After a few cycles it worked both ways only intermittenly and I could hear a "shorting sound" at the pump motor, any ideas?

If you were cycling the motor up and down for a while my bet is the thermal cutout kicked in at the motor and what you could hear is arching between its contacts. <br />Does the motor move when it is cool.

I've been having some problems with mine and turn out I needed to replace the brushes. Take te 4 screws out and look the brushes and wiring for uneven wear or arching. And I am having a hard time finding the brushes.
