    MC-1 won't raise via trailer / out switch. Trim works up and down...

    Do you have a single solenoid system? If so, here's a schematic that I used to sleuth mine. Apparently as "old" as my '72 is, it conforms to this diagram identified as having a "Late Bushbutton" circuit. I also have an "Early Pushbutton" diagram should anyone need it. - Grandad

    Looking for a Powered Helm Seat

    I have a slowly progressive disease causing weakness in selected muscle groups that challenges a normal lifestyle. Loss of quadriceps strength prevents me from rising from normal height seating to a standing position. Once standing, I?m able to carefully walk, but easily fall if my knees bend...

    Need help - Trim control issues..

    Hi Troops. The symptoms you describe could be from either the normal up switch or the limit switch malfunctioning. I'm attaching a troubleshooting directive that may help. Don't let the 3 button vs 2 button difference between the schematics in the pdf and your normal trim switch fool you. I...

    Mercruiser trim and shift questions

    I had a similar problem a month ago. What I found was that there is a reverse lock-out circuit that is intended to prevent trimming up while you're in reverse, which I'm guessing might allow the prop to overpower the trim pump. I found that an accumulation of dirt had forced the little...

    Hi Mark. There's no ice whatsoever in the marina. This afternoon, I drove around the lakeshore in Barrie and when I looked east toward the center of Lake Simcoe, I think that there may have been a white line of ice on the horizon, but the bay was wide open. There weren't any boats in their...

    Hi Ryan. Welcome to Iboats and thanks for checking into this thread. I drove across the narrows bridge at Orillia last night about suppertime and noticed quite a bit of open water. That's certainly a good sign. You're probably a fisherman who can't wait for Orillia's perch derby to begin...

    Inverter/Charger grounding question

    Hi Bob. I don?t know whether this will be much help, but after searching for bow thruster schematics for the 480, I also found a similar schematic for the 390. One of the differences in the drawings helped me to determine that the box shown for the bow thruster is actually the motor of the bow...
