trim issue
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 2:19 pm
Hey guys, took the boat out to the lake... before I backed down the launch, i stepped back to the engine and trimmed it up a bit as that is a fairly steep launch... then I backed the boat down into the water and fired her up.. no problem, til I tried to use my trim.. nothing happened, didn't work at the throttle or back on the engine itself.. checked all the connections I could see, nothing appears out of line.. new battery, one season old and the yamaha fired right up when I turned the key.. checked for an in line fuse, didn't find one... I do know whenever I tried to use the trim switch I could hear a clicking sound.. kinda like a relay.. Makes me think the solenoid is bad. but would a solenoid go bad all at once.. after all I did trim the motor up at the launch... 2 minutes later, nothing. If it is the solenoid, is it hard to replace on a yamaha 75 4 stroke? Your thoughts on what the problem could be.
