Alpha I Trim Problems
 
Anyone had issues with the trim motor on an Alpha I trimming the motor down, but not up? It'll go all the way down, but only clicks when I try to trim it back up? Please Help..Boat is stuck in the water. I can't trailer it as is..

Not sure of the trim problem, but load the boat, then un-bolt the lift cylinders and tie the drive up... that'll get you home.

jump the blue wire

I had this happen once, the bolt that was holding the wire to the battery was a little loose and caused this. But yes, unbolt those lift cylinders and you can screw with it later.

You need a new solenoid on the pump. Does your pump have 1 or 2 solenoids on it? If it has 2 then it's the one with the blue wires going to it. As US1 Fountain said jump a hot wire to the heavy blue wire that comes out the top of the motor on the pump to get it up for now. If your careful you can jump a screwdriver across the solenoid between the heavy red and heavy blue wire terminals.

could be your trim limit switch... mine would only go up with the trailer switch.... needed a new limit switch

Thanks for all the info. I jumped the blue wire and got the drive up. Replaced both solenoids and is now now workin' like a charm!!! Thanks again!!!
