I am diagnosing a problem with my trim pump for a Bravo III outdrive and need to test the solinodes because the outdrive will not go down. I am using a circuit tester to determine where the problem lies but I was wondering what the difference between that and the continuity testers is. I know when using the circuit tester you ground the tester on the engine and then stick the tester on the positive of whatever you are testing but can I hook the tester directly to the battery just to see if it works or will I blow the tester up.
Also if anyone has any information about common problems associated with these trim pumps or how to drain the system so I can put fresh fluid in there I would love any help that anyone can give me. Also I do have water in the system because the fluid is all cloudy is this more likely leaky trim cylindersor could it just be that the pump itself has gotten wet. Thanks for all your help.:grin::smt043
