I've read every post I can find related to power tilt and trim on a Mercury 40hp ELPTO, and still not sure I know what to do. Short version is that my trim motor is so rusty I'd been expecting it to quit working for two years. Got to where it would not always work in both directions, but a quick reversal of direction would get it going again. After last trip it would only go down and not up. Now it has finally quit all together. After reading the posts here I'm not sure if I should assume the motor is bad, or if I should look toward the relays? If the unit will not operate in either direction, is there a way to test the relays? Is there a general opinion on who makes the best aftermarket trim motor? Does anyone know exactly how much gold is in the Mercury trim motor that I see selling for around $400? Thanks for any feedback.
