the original tilt motor for my 40hp johnson crapped out on me last year. oddly enough, it would still push the motor up but wouldnt let it back down. a local mechanic removed it when i took it to him and told me it was no good. is it possible to rebuild these motors? anyone know where i can find something relatively cheap? how much am i looking at for a job like this?

Re: tilt motor shot

What year is your motor. The tilt motor is a simple DC motor. If it works one way it should work the other way.

That til motor I believe is a two wire motor. If it goes up than it should reverse and go down. Might try switching the relays.
