Tilt/trim Issue

[beacs]

Hi all,

Am seeking some guidance re issue with tilt / trim on 1997 130HP Johnson outboard.

Bought motor second hand approx 6 months ago. Trim up always had a slight delay / sticking but after trimming motor down, then would work - down always worked fine. Went to trim the motor up today to move the boat (after about 6 weeks of non-operation) and the up trim would not work at all. Removed couplings near/behind switch on external side of motor and found power (with tester) to red wire, but no power to blue or green. Moved further up wires to box which houses relays. Same issue - power present to red wire, but nothing to blue & green.

Tested with tester whilst the relays re attached to wiring - same issue. Found power on red wiring, nothing in blue or green. Spoke to someone over the phone who suggested it may be the relays, but am concerned this may not be the issue if no power present at wiring.

Could use some advice guidance from forum regulars please!!

Thanks.

There should be 2 relays, swap them around and see if the motorworks in the opposite direction.

If it does, grab another relay

I had a similar problem a few months back and it was tilt relay.

Sorry only saw this today, did you manage to correct the problem. If not I can give you a helping hand as we deal with loads of these problems on johnson evinrude motors.
