Tilt Trim

[emtmedic99]

1989 - 70HP Evinrude. I pulled the boat out from the winter storage, hooked up the batteries and raised the motor to put the holder back in position. When I went to let the motor back down, it does nothing. Now it wont go up or down. Motor turns over to start, but tilt/trim wont work. I have checked the fuses. ANy ideas? I dont have a manual and I am trying to find a manual for this motor. Any suggestions where to find manuals.?

Re: Tilt Trim

Does it make any noise when trying to work up or down? Any clicking or anything?<br /><br />Give us a few more details on the problem.<br /><br />Also check the bottom of the page for your manual, but here's the link to it.<br /><br />Check out the first one. It covers your year and HP.<br /> Manual

emtmedic99 <br />If the T&T motor does not make any noise while attepting to lower it, but does in the up position, remove the cowl and look for 2 relays(Square Black Boxes) on the starboard side of the engine. Swap these relays out and see if it lowers. If it does, you have a bad relay. If not, it's could be a bad T&T switch or wiring problem. Let us know.....

Re: Tilt Trim

IT does nothing from the motor or the throttle handle. I raised it up and was getting the transom saver hooked up and went to let it back down and it did nothing. I hear no noises or clicking, it is like it is dead, battery is hot, fuses are good. Check a few more things. It clicks when you push the up button, but when you push down it makes a buzzing noise.
