1989 80hp Mercury. Sometimes have to press up buttom numerous times and will finally engage. While doing this, do hear solenoid kicking in. Also does same in tilting & trimming down. Cleaned contact points. Still same problems.

Re: Tilt & Trim problem

Lerie....try this to start. Disconnect the battery from the TNT solenoids. Testing each solenoid by its self by disconnecting the wires from the large posts on the solenoids and putting a meter (ohm) across them. Hit your TNT switch and watch the meter. If the meter deflects, the solenoid should be good. If not, replace. If both solenoids appear good, problem probably will be the brushes in the TNT motor.<br /><br />Good Luck!
