Hello everyone, I have a 1979 OMC 800 drive. I have a question about the tilt and trim motors. When I hit the switch for either trim or tilt, i can hear my solenoids "click" but no movement from the motors. so far all the wiring has been working on the boat. should i try to service the motors or just replace them. also the drive is stuck in the up position, i can lift it and i see the gear moves freely, but it seems to have a "lock" to keep it in the up position. Thank you for any input.
 
Just because a solenoid clicks or clunks doesn't mean it getting power thru it. Test the output side before messing with the motors. As cheap as the motor's are now on ebay I wouldn't mess with taking them apart. They have brushes and springs that tend to fly wen pulled apart.
