etec 60 power trim problem

Hi All

The power trim on my 60hp etec is not working, tried both buttons on engine and morse box, all I get is a clicking noise.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Lee

Possibly the trim sender unit.

Clicking solenoids. Dismantle electrical points, clean and reassemble. If that doesn't do the trick, take a closer look at the trim motor. Could be worn carbon brushes? How old is the engine? An electrical multimeter is invaluable to ensure you're getting 12v, etc.

I occasionally have same problem on my yam 70..sometimes fine... Other times just clicks...usually when you really want it to work.! If I operate the button and 'lightly tap' the base of the motor it tends to fix it...amount of ' light tapping' very much dependent on urgency of situation! Im assuming brushes are worn...or its full of corrosion...either way its on my must do list..
Anybody know how easy it is to find replacement brushes/contacts if thats the issue??
