Went to trim the drive down yesterday, heard a funny sound coming from the trim motor area and engine lags hard from the electrical system being hit. Hit the button a couple more times, and after the 3rd time it trims down normally. Throughout the day, it works fine except for a few more times and only on the first time that I hit the switch. If I immediately let off and try it again, it will trim down no problem.
Obviously.. something is grounding out back there and shorting the electrical system. My off the cuff guess is that it would be the relay. Any experience with this? I believe that I read somewhere that the trim motor uses standard Bosch type relays. Are they swappable if so? What are the next steps?
Thanks in advance..
