Ok took boat out yesterday tilt work fine when put in water then when I went to trailer out of water couldn't get outdrive to trim up. when I bought boat someone had already put one of the univeral trim switched in and disabled the the original one on the throttle. when I hit the button the trim motor just clicks both up and down. Looking at other post on here but is there a way to jump across the solenoid to get it up just to see if its the solenois and be good to know if this happens while im out at the lake lucky i was at the lake behind my house so I didnt have to tow anywhere.

Thank You,

Re: tilt trim pump

Ayuh,... It sounds like dirty or corroded wiring terminals...
Remove,+ wirebrush ALL of 'em...

Jumpering is done by shorting the 2 Big lugs on the soleniod together...

Well took a while for me to get to my boat but I went and troubleshot the problem walked threw all wiring and wirebrushed everthing just to have it still not work so then I took motor out and ran it to straight power and nothing so turns out its the motor I took it to a rebuild place going to cost me 80.00 bucks but a new one was like 200.00 so not that bad.
Thank everyone for your replys hopefully ill be on the lake tomm.......
