ENGINE LIFT PROBLEM-86' 19.5 RENKEN 3.0

[Charles Bush]

I can't get the engine to go down, it has something like a starter motor and just clicks, any ideas, engine started fine seems to be plenty of charge

You will need to post the make and model of your engine/outdrive. Did you hook water up to it before you started it? If not, you'll probably need to replace the impellar...just a very few seconds without water will burn it up.

I think you mean that your outdrive won't go down..could just be corrosion...check all the contacts and make sure they are clean,no rust ect..

I hope you have NOT run the engine with the drive up..or without the water hose hooked to the drive!!

Connections, connections, connections.

Looking at them, doesn't count.

Take them apart and clean them--thoroughly. Your problems will disappear.
