Picked up a skiff with an 85 Yamaha 50 on it the other day, can't get the motor to trim up.
Searched the forums for my issue but couldn't find anything for this - I can't seem to depress the 'up' button on the controls? The 'down' switch depresses and the trim motor runs (but it's all the way down, so no motion obviously).
Should mention this is my first ob with power trim, used to running tillers with manual tilt.
Am I missing an "idiot switch" that locks the motor down or something else simple like that??

no lock down to keep motor from going up.
rocker switch should move freely in both directions and should energize the T&T relay causing the T&T motor to run even if motor was locked in place
