Default trim motor help?

There are two solenoids but they don't both always go bad at the same time but since they are cheap I always change all of them, Trim pumps and Drives as well. Get them at

probably a bad fuse, I had the same problem with mine last year. it would work when I jumped it too. I had to replace an inline fuse since the boat was a 1991 with no reset. hope that helps.

It's 3 extra nuts to R&R the 2nd solenoid. I recommend replacing the 2nd one as well.

I may be a tad late here, but I went through the same thing with mine (38 Fever). My mechanics jumped in there, told me to "exercise the trim pumps"- i.e., work the switch up down, etc. in rapid succession ... and they now work like champs. Ozone is apparently the culprit- building up o the solenoids, then they sit over time and cannot make the circuit
HOWEVER ... never can beat new!
