I have a 94 Johnson 115 hp that was rebuilt last winter. I ran the boat for two months, everything was just fine. Now when I take off the trim will not work. It blows the 20amp fuse on the motor. I cannot get the fuse to blow when i hook the motor up to muffs on land, it only blows while in water. Can anyone help, this has been very frustrating.

The trim will work from the front of the boat, but the trim on the motor and the hand control will not work.

is the trim motor rusty? if the motor has alot of rust it could have a hole in it making a short in the water, or bad wiring....

sounds like you have a short in your switches or wiring. the fuse is just connected to the switch and relay portion of the trim. the motor power is independent of the fuse.
