Trim - Downward (85hp Force i/o)

[ALM80 1]

Good morning all:<br /><br />I make a big mistake for hauling the boat down the driveway and forgot to bring the lower unit upward. As I came down the driveway, the lower unit hit the ground a couple of times. Now, I can only trim "up" but not "down". Any advise how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you.

Does the pump spin when you try to engage the down cycle for the tilt?<br /><br />TMD

Marine Doctor,<br /><br />I don't think the pump spin when I tilt down. Thank you for replying and for your advice.

I had the same problem with mine, (minus hitting the skeg on the pavement) turned out it was a bad relay.

It might just be a coincidence that you hit the pavement and the engine tilt started to give you problems. As suggested by RTW have a look at the Relays.<br /><br />To find them...there should be Green and Blue wires running to them. Just swap the relays. If the Tilt then works opposite...you will know its the relays.<br /><br />TMD
