I have a 115hp 1991 merc. I recently replaced the trim motor. The second time I wentt out in it the down tilt works when it wants to, there is clicking in the solenoid but no power throught the wire going to the motor. It has also started leaking down slowly dropping the engine. I can't find any sign of fluid leaking anywhere. Thanks for any help.

Re: tilt/trim problem

You may have a bad solenoid. Just because it clicks doesn't necessarily mean power is going through the contacts.

Leaking down could be caused by the manual release valve not being tight or bad orings, or sticky valve in trim ram, or bad pump.
