[QUOTE="hookedontronics, post: 322514, member: 10564"] My tilt and tirm have been hit or miss. For a little while it was working without any problems (in my garage) after I replaced both the batteries with new ones. I took the boat out last weekend, tilted the motor all the way up and launched it. parked the car and jumped in and the motor wouldn't go down. I can hear the solenoids click but no movement. I decided to use the trolling motor to get out of the marina and then after about 30minutes of just cruising around with the trolling motor and hitting the button randomly it started working again and worked for the following 2 hours while I was in the boat. The other day it stopped working again when I was messing around with it in the garage. Last night I replaced both solenoids thinking this was the issue. I am still getting the same thing. I can hear it clicking but no movement on the tilt/trim. I hooked up a test light and I am getting power on the other side of the solenoid. looks like the motor to me. any suggestions to try before I go drop a couple bills on a new tilt/trim motor? really hoping that is the issue and I can fix this and move on serial: 0B239828 [/QUOTE]
