I have a 1979 Mercury 850 Outboard that I have a tilt/trim problem with. It will trim down put will not trim up. It clicks when I try to trim up. I replaced the solenoid today but it continues to just click. I have also noticed that their is a hydraulic fluid leak coming from the propeller. I'm open for any suggestions......thanks in advance.

Re: Tilt/Trim problems

I searched high and low and I can't find a schematic for that unit. If you can supply one, I can help.....<br />From memory, I think this motor reverses from it field circuit. Take a testlight or meter and see if you have voltage at both large terminals on the solenoid when trying to trim up. If you do have voltage to both terminals, it points to a bad motor(open field), but I need a schematic to be sure....
