Good Day everyone,
I am hoping someone can provide me with some advice on a trim motor.
I have an 88 SeaRay Seville 21CC with a Mercruiser 470 and Alpha1 Drive. i have had a few issue with it but i amm slowly getting them fixed. i was at the point of setting up the Carb when i tried to lower the leg, but it did not move down or up. I got a maintenance manual and started testing a few things. First off, the solenoids were changed and when i hit the switches i do hear the solenoids clicking but no movement and the motor does not turn on.
With this i started to checked for voltages with a multimeter from the battery to the connections before and after the 110Amp fuse. it indicated the proper 12V needed. The manual also said that one test to see if the motor works would be to add jumper from just before the 110A fuse to the blue or green connection of each solenoid to ensure the motor will turn on to move the leg. So this test showed me that the leg did not move, so now i assume the motor is the problem and needs to be rebuilt or changed out for a new one. I am hoping that someone here could tell me if there is another possibility for the motor to not turn on or am i correct in assuming that the motor is done for and i need to replace/repair it.
I thank you all for your input ad appreciate any feedback.
