Hey All:

after getting my boat up and running with various issues from sitting for 2 yrs " health issues"

My trim wouldn't work at all. I found it had corrosion " or a bad connection" at the plug in from the motor. everything was great after that.....after it sat for about 2 weeks the trim wont go down. It goes up but just not down. I have checked to see if it was a loose connection and I swaped the relays out. jiggles the wires while someone was holding the button....

NOt sure where to go from here.......thanks

Assuming the motor does not run when down is activated.
Can you jump the down relay (Red wire to Green/White small wire on relay)?

VP most likely has them I'm just unable to find where they have a parts listing.

My old Merc needed a switch and I was able to find it at the Merc site. Ask a dealer, my guess they know if another here doesn't find it
