Hi. I have a 1980 Glasply with an OMC 120hp sterndrive. Previous owner told me the tilt switch was bad, but it worked for me a few times to lower and raise the sterndrive. Other times it failed to lift but would always lower. I just replaced the switch and I’m getting the same result: If I use a screwdriver to jump between the two posts on the up solenoid, sterndrive comes up smoothly and strongly. Switch always works for down, I’m assuming because so much less power is needed to lower than to raise. Does this sound like a solenoid problem or faulty wiring between switch and solenoid? I’m thinking it’s not a blown fuse because sometimes I do get some raising from the switch, it’s just intermittent - sometimes no lift at all, sometimes very weak lift. Thanks for any suggestions!
