Trim stuck up

[joeturse]

When I trim my 150 all the way up,it seems to get stuck.After trying a few times it will let loose and come down.
Anyone have this problem?

Re: Trim stuck up

mechanical stick is usually caused by wallowing of head/top assy allowing piston to jam crooked. motor not running can be either relays, brushes, or wiring.

Tilt motor runs,but it takes a few tries to get it to work.Could having the motor tilted all the way up have anything to do with it?
Forgot to mention it is a 2001 Johnson.

Re: Trim stuck up

position of engine only affects motor if there is loose wiring. Loose and worn wiring is always first thing to look for with intermittent failures.

Could be that the tilt limit switch is sticking.
