The trim on my '96 120 HP Force is not working. I get one click from right above the the starter solenoid. Foregive my lack of knowledge here.... But I was told the part was a relay switch for the power trim-there are two of them right above the solenoid in a vertical line (up and down so makes sense to me) I ordered what I was told from an online Mercury parts provider (Part # 882751A) and it's not even remotely the right part- probably my fault for giving them bad description. I removed one of the "relay switchs" that clicks one time when I hit the trim... and there is no part #. Can anybody help me out with a part # here? I can send a pick of the engine with an arrow pointing to the part I need if that helps anybody.
-Newbie to this... any help is appreciated.

Re: Tilt/Trim Part #

RRitt- Thanks for the link but this is not the part I'm trying to identify. I have attached a photo with an arrow for the part I'm trying to get the # on. I've removed it but it does not have any #'s on it. It looks more like a solenoid then what I was told it was a trim relay- Again there are two of them right above the starter solenoid in a straight line (axis North of the starter solenoid).

I tried to post a picture but I keep getting "invalid" post.

Re: Tilt/Trim Part #

you must have a 3w trim motor ... square, squat, oildyne. Sorry to hear that. To the best of my knowledge mercury was successful in their efforts to proprietize the $5 auto relay into a $55 marine relay. It doesn't work any better or last any longer. It is just more profitable.

part #818997T1 $55-$60 each

you could always cheat and change your wiring to use the $5 relay.

Re: Tilt/Trim Part #

That's it. Thanks for the help! This newbie is thankful. I couldn't reference it anywhere and pulled both of the them off with no #'s on them. Have to learn this stuff somehow. Glad I found this forum.

Thanks again!
