My trim tab on the ole motor is acting up. It will trim up but not down. It does this every once in a while (in the middle of a fishing trip) then will mysteriously start operating fine again days later. I pulled the control handle apart last night and checked the switch by touching a short wire to the center post and then each side? got action going up but not down so I think the switch is ok??? I also pulled apart the little wire connection terminal (pardon my lack of proper name? I?m not a mechanic) mid boat to see if it was the cause (I had here it can cause T/T issues) I cleaned and think I have a good connection. So the question is what remains. Electrical??? Hydraulics???
I opened the fuse box and took a look at the Bosh relays (are they relays?). One clicks when I hit UP and trim raises? the other does nothing when I hit DN. Is there a simple test to see if it is the DN relay??? How hard are these to change out???
Can something physical in the T/T cause this failure??? Fluid level??? Sorry so long winded? have a trip planned and I am trying to avoid another ride to the mechanic. Thanks in advance for ANY help!!!
