Late 7-0's 50hp Mariner tilt/trim and shift cables

[ba_50]

I've got a late 70's 50hp Mariner with no numbers. When the tilt button is activated there is a clicking sound on the motor coming from a Bosch 12v30A 0332 209 150 part. It looks like two little square boxes. It hasn't been used in two years but is clean. Is it a part or electrical problem?<br /><br /><br />I also need to know which shift and throttle cables go on top and bottom of motor. <br /><br /><br />Thanks for the help.

Throttle on top, shift on bottom.<br /><br />If you hear clicking in both UP and DOWN, it's probably rusted brush holders in the trim motor cap. It could be relays, but it's a tad unlikely that both would fail at the same time. Unless the boat swamped, or the plug was left in, and they submerged.

I'd also start with brushes...<br /><br />Some of the more experienced users can advice you on how to turn the motor shaft by hand. That will eliminate rusted bearings.
