Good afternoon everyone,
I have scoured the internet, youtube, etc and have not found what I'm looking for as of yet. I have a '79 OMC 185 with Stringer 800 and Selectrim. I recently replaced the trim motor and both forward solenoids as both were not in working order and the trim motor was definitely past the point of rebuild.
I can now hear the motor clearly running but nothing is happening. After studying schematics in detail and reading the manual, I am concluding that it is either a reassembly issue caused by yours truly or something in the housing (worm gear, etc...) is seized up.
I am still fairly new to OMCs but I know the lack of availability of parts and the costs associated with them. After checking the ~$100 cost of a new worm gear/other parts, I decided it would be in my best interest to ask those of you who know more than me before I grab a pair of pliers and start yanking on stuff.
Also, actual pictures of the assembled/disassembled selectrim would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
