Subject: merc tilt n trim prob

Posts: 559

Yesterday we were out on the Missouri river and when I went to put the boat back on the trailer the tilt would not work. the trim seemed to work fine but when the motor got to the the tilt pos it growled and stopped going up. When I tried to raise it again it would take the volt meter way down to 11v, so I thought it was a batt. prob. we got the boat on the trailer and started to get ready to go home. When it came time to put the transom saver on the tilt n trim worked just fine and still does. when it was not working I also tried the tilt switch on the motor and it did not make any diff. Does anybody have any ideas on what is going on? Thanks for any help. 2009 merc 150 opti
