Could someone help me diagnose what's wrong with the power trim unit on my Merc 115 OB?
The last time I used the boat everything worked great. Now, a couple months later, the power trim won't work. All I get is a single "click" in the engine area right close to where the fuse for the trim unit is. That click is the same for trim up or down. Is there a relay or something there? Could that be the problem?
Right now the engine is trimmed up just a little. I'm nervous about letting it down manually because I think it'll hit the garage floor and I don't think I'll be able to get it back up again without a jack. Will I have to eventually let it all the way down manually in order to then raise it high enough to work on the trim motor?
If the problem turns out to be the trim motor, could someone walk me through the process of replacing it?
