Re: 1986 Suzuki DT115 power trim
I guess I should have been a little more descriptive with the problem. This was happening in both trim stages. While cruising, I would trim it up and the motor would gradually lower, all the way in about 10 seconds. While raising for trailering, it was lowering so quickly I would have to run to the back of the boat to lower the motor support. I spoke with Brownspoint and they suggested the manual release valve since it was lowering in both trim stages. I was hoping that would work since it was less than 100.00 for a new manual release valve and a new pump/valve assembly I have seen for around 1,500.00 or more. Fortunatley, I installed the new manual release valve and all is well. Kudos to Brownspoint for taking the time to understand the problem and walking me through the install process. I am an electrcian not a boat mechanic but as they said, it was an easy change out and it seemed to fix the problem.
