My Rant : boy oh boy, after you go through everything you need to and start the engine for preseason and go ahead setup the boat for fishing ,ect thinking all systems go, something just has to go wrong dont it.
I went to tilt my engine up and got nothing, I could hear the motor just barely moving and then nothing. I can hear the relays on top of the engine clicking so I assuming they work.
Checked and load test the batts and all is well. Engine starts and runs fine. Cleaned all the cables, grounds ect. still nothing. All electricl on boat works fine. With engine in down position I cannot get the pump motor. Thinking like a mechanic I decided to tap on the bracket while engaging the switch and the motor start moving slowly, but only if I tap on the bracket nera the motor. That worked for like 10 min. Now it does nothing and the engine is down. There are 2 wires going to the pump motor one greem and one blue.
Doe anyone know how to test the motor? can I apply direct voltage from Batt + to the blue or green wire to test the motor? And if I have to replace the motor do I need to remove the whole tilt/trim system from the bracket? I was able to release the manual valve so I can lift the engine by hand now.
