Well I thought I had this solved last summer.
I replaced both the up and down solenoids and that seems to solve the problem of the tilt not working at times.
This year after taking the boat of of storage the tilt would not work at all.
Both up and down clicked but no movement,even when jumped at the solenoids.
After trying many times it started to work but slowly at first.The battery was fully charged.
I think this points to the motor, my question is rather than replacing it $$$$ can I just remove the top screws
and clean the armature and brushes?
It starts off slow ,but the more you run it the faster it gets.
Seems like a bad connection.
Thanks

Yes I have ,it's full.
If I try to remove the motor from the pump will the fluid run out?
