Hello,

I had some maintenance on my Mariner 75 HP of 1992 2 stroke
Yesterday everything works ok
This morning i came to my boat and saw my trimmotor wasn't working anymore
I checked everything
Power 12,5 V solenoids are working,Kabel to the motor is getting warm so there will be power to the trimmotor, switch is also working ok.
I only have the problem that the Enginge stands in his lower position
To remove the Trimmotor I have to get it up.
Has anyone a solution to get the engine up?

I believe there should be a manual release valve on the unit. Mine is accessed through the starboard side of the transom bracket

Hello Chris

You are super:)
I have also a valve on the right site en opened it
I lost some oil but thats a later problem
I only can losen one bolt, the other is between te border and the engine
I think to loosen the bolts for 60 procent so I have enough space for the other one.
I Hope I can repair it otherwise it cost me a little ?250,00

You will need to loosen the transom bolts to access the rear bolt for the trim motor...did you test the motor with a volt meter before deciding to replace it?
Once the system is up and running again, bleed it until all the air is purged out.

Yes the motor get power bur after a second the pover is 0 V
So I think there is a shortcut in the motor
I think there are some diodes in and some are broken.
Or de motor is standing as a house
We shall see

Everything is fixed
The motor was full of water
I dryed it, make new seals and I hope it is water resistant

Thanks for all help.
