Afternoon All, been a while since my last posting here but hey - it's good to be back!
Anyhow, my prob is that my 135hp 1997 Merc will not tilt up but it will tilt down! When attempting to tilt up the relay clicks and thats it! I've only had this engine for abt 8wks and won't be keeping it for much longer -perhaps this coming season and then I'll change it but I'd like to get the tilt fixed! Can anybody please provide some guidance on where to start with this?

Righto - I've just swapped the relays and the fault alos swapped- up now works whereas down does not. I think I'll wander down the shop and order a new one.

Good stuff!
Nice when a problem is isolated with ease.

New relay has now been installed and all is now OK.
