I have a 1994 Stratos 217 with a Johnson 120 hp 4 Stroke. I just purchased this used boat earlier this year. I love it soo far..
I am not having an issue with the Tilt/Trim. Here is what I know:
1.) There are 3 different Tilt Trim Switches (Front of Boat, on Throttle, and on the motor). None are responding.
2.) I took the motor cover off and I can hear the Relays "Clicking" when the switches are activated.
3.) I took apart the 2 wire connector apart (Blue and Green wires) after the Relays (before the T/T Motor) and checked for corrosion and none present.
4.) I used a voltmeter and tested the connector and have 12-13 volts DC when the T/T switches are activated.
5.) I checked the Trim Fluid Reservoir and loosened the drain screw until fluid came rushing out and then tightened. Not sure how to check for the "correct" amount" or how to refill the Trim Fluid Reservoir.
6.) I loosened the manual trim tightener and lifted the motor all the way up. I had a buddy help tighten the manual trim screw, however, the motor would NOT lock into place in the upright position. I had to use a 2x4 to brace the motor in the fully up position.
Any ideas on what to do next to get my Tilt and Trim working properly??
