HELP!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday at the lake my up trim quit working. My trailer up button still works (button for full up for trailering). I hear the up silenoid working when I hit the trailer button. Does this mean that it can only be the wiring or the trim rocker switch? The down button works fine.
If it is the buton does anyone know the right way to take off the the throttle handle. I would imagine there is a few things in there that could get jacked up if I am not carefull.
I have a poker run next weekend to go to and I am sure I cant get it into and out of the shop by Saturday. It is a 94 7.4 Merc.
The trim button on the throttle will only work to about 1/2 way, which means there must be a limit switch or position sensor that tells the system when the throttle trim is at full up. Perhaps that position switch or sensor is stuck?
I'm no mechanic, so I thought I'd throw that out there.
Happen to me on my old boat.
5 dollar part 150 labor

You're on the right track scream, check the wires on the trim limit sensor. It is bolted to the left side of the gimbal ring. The wires on the indicator on my old boat broke more than once. Also check the screws that hold the sensor on, if they came loose then you may be out of adjustment.
Good idea Scream. It was seeming like there was something else it could be. I even looked on the side of the out drive and was eyeballing the trim indicator. I think the part you are taling about is about in the same place just on the other side of the outdrive. I will run down and look.
Whew, I musta slept in today, cause I'm kinda smart...
Screw that, I'm gonna start hammerin down and kill those pesky brain cells once and for all...

One of the other board members (EdUkaTor I think) had a similar problem, It turned out to be the up solenoid and he got it via the mercury parts express system on the confuser.
Damn Scream did you stay in a Holiday Inn last night. I just went down and checked the limit switch and bingo loose wire.
In payment would you like your virgin sent out to be Blonde or Brunette?
Lower it ALL the way and check again.
