1985 evinrude 120hp the relay

1985 evinrude 120hp the relay clicks but the motor won't tilt. Should I expect that the power tilt motor is shot. Thanks for any info. CW

First disconnect the po

First disconnect the power trim cable to find out if its the power trim itself or the relay assy. Use a jumper cable directly from a battery on the power trim. If you switch + and - ,the power trim will reverse.
If it works, the fault is probably in the relay assy. There are 2 relays, and both have to be ok. Replace them if you are in doubt.
If the PT doesn't work with jumper cables (no sound), the problem is here.
I had a power trim, where the springs for the brushes (in the electric motor) had corroded and almost disappeared. I replaced them (just simple coil springs, doesn't seem to be sold as a spare part), and did a careful seal job on the electric motor. Also be sure to clean the brush area from graphite dust, as it is conductive.
Good luck.
