Hello,I recently bought a Stratos F/S with an Evinrude 130. The boat is a 1997 so I assume the motor is that year also. A couple weeks ago I had a problem that the motor got stuck in the most UP position and the down trim button wouldn't work. After messing with the buttons on the side of the motor for a bit it finally went down.Today I went to the lake and everything was fine.When I went to take off the up for the trim wouldn't work but the down sounded as it should. Now neither button will work from any of the 3 positions for trim. I had to do the manual release and lift the motor by hand to be able to get it on the trailer, and now I see that one of the stainless type pins is stuck in the down position.I am going to start by getting new relays but is there any other input to this...I have an open tournament next Sunday, so I need to get it resolved by then

Thanks

I can hear the relay clicking when I push the trim button on the motor.

Did you try swapping the relays on the mtr to see if anything changes??
