I have a 99 Johnson 200 Ocean Runner on Wellcraft 22 WA.<br />The tilt trim works at the motor but not at the shift controls. Any thoughts on how to test and/or repair?

Start looking for a broken wire,problem is most like in the wires on the handle trim and tilt. Also check to make sure all harness are tight and free from corrosion.Anther thing to check is to pull the trim and tilt relays,make sure they are clean.

Pull the switch out of the handle. There will be 3 wires, Red, Blue, Green. Check for 12 volts d.c. from red to ground. If not, under the consol is a plug connecter. If it's not pulled apart, pull it apart and do the same test at the plug lead in side. If you have power there, then the wire chafed and opened between there and the control switch, (very common), or the switch is bad. To check the switch, place leads on red and green. You should see less then 12 volts. Then move the switch to the down position, should read near zero. Repeat for the up position, ( red to blue )<br /><br />If not, trace wire back to the relay control box.
