"Hi
Let me start by saying I am not a mechanic in any sense of the word. I buy boats with minor problems get the parts for cheap and fix it.
I have a boat with a Merccruiser 4.3L V6. The trim motor for frozen when I bought it so the motor would not raise or lower. Luckily it was all the way down so I could use it all summer. I took the trim motor apart and saw that the whole thing was locked solid. I bought a whole new motor and resevoir, replaced the three wires (blue, green & black) to the same place that they were previously connected to and the motor only goes up and does not go down. Now my motor is stuck up. It doesn't even make a noise when I press it to go down but when I press it to go up it does. I know the motor is good, the wires were connected like the original so I have no idea what could be wrong? Could the switch itself be bad?
Any help would be really appreciated because I want to sell this boat and that is really a big road block for me doing so.
Thanks"
