Now among the other problem's I'm having [see other thread], I'm going along today and notice my motor won't trim up. I thought it was just a bad connection on the throttle. But if I keep messing with it, it will work. When I got it out of the water, I discovered I had the same problem at all 3 place's I have trim button's. Front/rear/throttle. I checked all wire connection's, everything seem's fine. This motor look's brand new. I could hear the relay's clicking. I put a new relay on the up, still has the same problem. If I keep messing with it, hitting the up and down button's, it will work just fine.<br /><br />A friend told me it's the selonoid. But from what I could see, it doesn't look like the wire's go to the starter selonoid. But I'll have to tear into it to see for sure.<br /><br />Any idea's. Thank's, Cal<br /><br />Also, is there any forum's for Quantum boat's. Thank's

Quick Cal, try connecting the trim motor wires directly to the battery with jumper cables.

I read in the manual that if it will go in one direction and not the other, the problem is not the motor.<br /><br />What's really strange is that the new relay did not fix it. However, I switched the relay's around, and now all SEEM'S well. Probly until I get it in the water that is,,,,lol. Maybe the problem was just a loose conection. Who know's. <br /><br />Now I'm going back out to push the button's about another million time's. Cal
