Good Afternoon,

I'm hoping someone will be able to help with a situation I had the other day. While on the water the motor would randomly tilt up. Even when at full tilt, the tilt motor would constantly run. The only way I could figure to get it back down was to turn turn the perko switch to off then hold the swith in the down position while I turned the perko back to both. It would stay down to any where from 30 secs to few mins before it would raise up again.

This past weekend while on the hose it wouldnt raise up at all however it would go down. I have read a little about the relays possibly going bad. So I swapped them but the same results. it would only go down.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I have experienced this one. Water in your trim switch! Replace it...

I suspected that as well. I'll replace that and see what I come up with.

Thanks again.
