I have good question that may stump even the best of you. I have a 96 Force 75 hp outboard that has been giving me a ton of trouble. The other day out on the lake my power trim failed. It wouldnt go up, but the strange part was that it would go down. If i pressed the up button I would just hear a click but when i pushed the down button everything seemed to work fine. After standing around at the launch ramp trying to figgure out how i was going to get my boat back home with the skeg 4 inches from the ground it ramdomly started to work again. I took the boat back out a few days later and the trim problem seemed to be fixed but when I went to start up the boat (in nuteral) it would fire up and be in gear. I didn't think it was possible for that to happen! So I went to put the boat in reverse and reverse ened up being "nuteral". So now I have no reverse and if I want to be in nuteral i have to put the throttle in the reverse position. Then when I went to put the the boat in forward the throttle seemed very stiff and hard to move, like there was a lot of resistance in the cables. The boat ran fine though and achieved top speed like normal, its just that all the controls are screwed up. And then when back on the trailer I had the same trim issuses again, it would go down but not up. Finally after messing around with it for a bit it worked. Any ideas anybody?
