    Evinrude Trim/Tilt Motor Replacement

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I looked at my 1990 v4 motor.It looked to me you should be able to secure your motor in the up position.Take out the 4 bolts on each side.Then pull the pin on your hydraulic lift cylinder and take the whole trim unit out in one piece.Then remove your motor.If your motor is stuck in the down position you would need to pull the pin out of the lift cylinder first and secure it in the up position.Before doing any of this you my want to try your motor wires directly to a good 12 volt battery.It could be your relay and not your motor.If i remember right I believe there is 2 like fuses in the relay one for up and one for down.It could be as simple as replacing them.Anyway I would try your motor first by passing the relay to make sure the problem is the motor. 
    Yes, what Sean said! Had same problem on my 91 Johnson 4 cylinder. Absolutely check relays, they are located behind cylinder head in black enclosure. One relay is for up and the other one is down. Hope this is your problem, I got a new set of relays from Napa for cheap. Goodluck
