Hi all,
Trim down has been intermittent lately and recently stopped working all together. If I press the trim up switch on the throttle handle, you can hear a click and hear it trying to move up. When I press down on the switch there are no clicks or anything mechanical happening. Completely silent.
In the recent past I was able to press down and it consistently move down. Over the past month or 2 I noticed it wouldn't respond consistently but would work if I simply pressed the down switch a couple times. In the last few days I was beached and could not get the trim down switch to respond with the key in the on position or idle. I tried putting the throttle in reverse slowly and tried the trim down switch and it worked! I then noticed I could only get the trim down switch to work while in reverse. However today, it's not working at all. Nothing I seem to do will make the trim down switch work.
I'm not a mechanic but mechanically inclined. Where do I start with troubleshooting this problem? The boat is currently in my slip in the marina and I'm hoping there is something I can do (even temporarily) to get the trim down while in the water. If not, I'll just go get the boat and bring it home to work on it. Or maybe there's something I can do to pull it out at the ramp, check on a couple things underneath and maybe get it right back in the water?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Todd
