I am a newbie here, so have paitence, I have read through a lot of the forums to try and seek advice. I need some assistance with my 1991 VIP Vision, 1991 Mercruiser Alpha I, 3.0 Ltr, 4 Cyl Engine.
The problem I'm having is with the trim. With the engine in the fully down position, the trim will engage for about 3 seconds, then stop, however, I can trailer it all the way up. It will not engage when the motor is in the fully up position at all. But the trailer switch will engage. I can lower the motor using a jumper on the green/white wire, and I can raise by using a jumper on the blue/white wire. I have tested for volts on all the wires, have checked the 20 amp inline fuse. I have looked at all the wires inside the throttle handle. I cannot see any signs of corriosion or damage. All fluids are good. Any advice on next move.
