Trim Pump won't work

[sealyons]

I have a 1985 Mercruiser mr-200. The trim pump will not work. It worked fine last season when I put it away for the winter. I did replace the trim cylinders on the drive this spring and replaced the oil that leaked out. It makes no noises, clicks, hum etc... Is there an easy way to test the pump/ switch before I start taking things apart?

Taking things apart without knowing WHAT is defective is a pure waste of time.<br />Troubleshooting is the way to go.<br />Below is a link to the troubleshooting section of the Mercriser service manual. Follow it step by step and you will know exactly what the problem is in a very short time WITHOUT takeing things apart that aren't the problem.<br /><br /> http://www.boatfix.com/merc/Servmanl/6/6C1R3.PDF <br /><br />You are going to need a VOM for testing.
