Re: trim & tilt info

Do a SEARCH on this forum and there are ton's of tilt problems. Try to directly power the motor this will determine if the motor is good. Check your hydraulic fluid level. Remove each connection and sand it with 150-220 sand paper and re-attach. Another possibility is the switch itself...disconnect the power and check the connections with an ohm meter.<br /><br />Bob
