Re: 150 merc tilt-trim

Had the same problem last year. Try tapping (lightly) on the trim motor, while some one trips the up switch. this is just a temporary fix, wound up taking mine out and having it cleaned up and resoldered($40) as opposed to a $500 new one. Good luck. Its a poor design having that electric motor in the water all the time

If you mean the T/T motor is inside the boat,check the plug in connector on the side of the pump.
