I have a 1982 3 liter io the outdrive is stuck in the up position, I thought about replacing the troublesome motor with a u joint a shaft and a crank in front and under the motor cover, and raise and lowering it manually. Has anyone ever done this?

Username1 youi probably have a bad relay, you should start your own thread in the appropriate engine category for your engine, Yamaha, OMC, Mercruiser, etc..

Either 7 or 8 amps depending on which brand of drive motor on the trim/tilt unit. That is the no load draw for bench testing the drive motor.. I just had one off a month ago and when I spliced the wires back together I guess they were either 14 or 16 gauge.

Thank you I founs the info, it calls for a 30amp fuse as per Johnson's part book for my engine. I ran a 10guage wire and a 25amp fuse. So far so good. Thanks again.
