Mercruiser 165 Inline 6.
I replaced the solenoid and trim pump last year. All worked great. While trimming down in the driveway yesterday, the trim pump lost all power, both up and down.
I then checked fluid, needed a small amount, so topped it off. Next, I tried testing power at the dash switch and there was none. (Fuse maybe?, will investigate later). Next, I, jumped solenoid: Red to front small post, result: Trim up just fine. Then, jumped blue and red, very labored, seemed like it was going to smoke, and it was not able to move at all.
Is there anything else I can do or check? Or is the conclusion that my pump went bad correct?
Thank you and please let me know what information I need to post to get a better answer.
