power trim tilt

[crawfordml05]

on my johnson 150hp motor this morning i went outside and herd the trim tilt motor running, so i discconected the batter to it. now last night we did get about 2 inches of rain and it was not covered because i was planning to go out in the morning. i took a hair drying to the switch on the throttle to dry it out. and sometimes it will stop running and then all of the sudden it will start back up. am i doing the right thing, do i just need to let it air out?

Re: power trim tilt

check you connection the handle type switchs will stick ,
check your relay and or wireing if it three wire ,
mine went out kept sticking in the up position .i ued blinker type switch
works better than the hand control if you hauling ya can keep your hands
on the wheel

taking the switch apart will enable you to clean it up
