My 98' 40 horse Force trim won't go up. Down works fine. It will go up on rare occasion. Do you think this is a relay? If so, where can I find the relay? Thanks a bunch!

Re: Force trim won't go up!

Follow the wires from the trim pump, up into the cowling.<br />There should be two relays plugged into a wiring harness.<br />One for up, the other for down.<br /><br />Unplug them and swap positions. If it is a relay, the problem should now be reversed. That is, it will go up but now down.<br /><br />You can get a replacement relay from Merc for $13, or try a NAPA parts store.
