Hi guys,
Was having some problems with my power tilt/trim.
The down works fine but having problems with the up. I have narrowed it down to the solenoid/relay. If I swap them around then up works fine and have problems with down.
The problem seems to be intermittent. When I am at rest or the boat is on the trailer it tends not to work (I can hear the solenoid click but does not move). However, when travelling at speed with RPMs up, it seems to work alot better. Is this something to do with more volts been supplied at higher RPMs? If I touch the two main wires into the solenoid together (bypass the solenoid) then it works.
BTW, i have cleaned and re-done all the wiring connections so don't believe this is the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
