Crappie Wall Hanger II
tilt trim problem 87 evinrude
Did some winter fishing sunday putting boat in tilt was lowering when about half way down it just stopped. Tried all switches no luck after about 5 minutes it started working fine. Worked fine all day then when draining water from motor at the end of the day on the ramp it did the same thing in about the same spot. Any ideas on what could be happening? Do I have a motor shorting out if so can you get new ones?

If you have a meter, first thing to do when it does that is unplug wiring harness and check your getting power. If not then back track from there to relays and switches. If getting power I suspect you have dirty spot where brushes make contact. Might have to pull motor and clean armature and brushes.

I had same problem with mine. Turned out that the trim tab seals were leaking. had to put more fluid in till I got the seals fixed

Definitely sounds like a short somewhere check your connections as cray suggested.

Thanks guys I will check for a short just seems strange that when it quits none if three switches will work. A l most makes me think it's on the tilt motor..I could be wrong
