This is probably simple, but I?m new to boating and am looking for some guidance on diagnosing/fixing a trim/tilt issue. Please forgive me if this has already been discussed, I wasn?t able to locate a similar issue in the forums.

When I use the trim / tilt, I hear a click (both the up/down relays appear to work as I had my fingers on them), but the motor does not start. It was working when I put it away last fall.

I found out (by mistake) that the brushes and the armature look fine in the trim motor. Just a few cuss words, some paper clips and a couple extra fingers and it was back together.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Was there something I could have done to prevent this when I prepped the boat for the winter?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
