Hey Guys,

I'm new to the site. I have an 08 Hurricane Deck Boat with a Mercruiser 5.0 I/O. Last week we were out cruising the the Power Trim quit working. Everything worked like a champ prior to that. I took the chance that it might be the solenoids so I replaced both of them with no improvement.
I was going to start checking voltages as well as bypass the solenoids and check the motor itself. Thought I would put 12 volts to the green wire and see if it ran it down.
The other item I wanted to know is does it come with a trim limit and could that be it?

All help is appreciated....

you need the pos and neg cables attached to the battery. At the trim pump is a rubber housing with red wires, has a fuse inside.jumper from the battery to the blue(up) and green(down) to check motor.

Yes it has a trim limit, but that only affects trim UP, not DOWN. DOWN should work all the way from the full up position.
