I'm having an issue with my Tilt/Trim on my 1980 V4 85hp motor.

It seems to have a mind of it's own. Sometimes it just won't do anything. Usually going down is more of a problem than going up.

Yesterday I put my boat in the water and when I tried to lower the motor nothing happened. No sound from the switch or motor. I checked all the electric connections but still nothing. I finally had to let the manual valve out so it would lower by it's own weight. After running the motor for a bit it started working again. Any ideas?

thanks,

Mike

Re: Tilt/Trim problem

take the trim switch out of the circuit, and test with jumper lead's. Check groud, and all other connection's first.
