Location: Bloomington, IL | Hey guys,
After a rather long break away from muskie, and fishing in general, I am getting back into the swing of things. I picked up a new to me boat last night (93 Lund Pro V 1775 Dlx) which I'm super excited about, but I did buy it with a known issue. That's what helped keep the price down. but now I have to fix it. I thought I knew where I was going to start with it, but the guys description makes me think I should ask folks more experienced.
So this has a Mercury 115, and the trim has stopped working. The previous owner described when it first started acting up as it seemed the trim was running slowly, and then it quit working. He did say that very occasionally it might work for a sec, but then stop again. It also doesn't seem to work from any of the switches, in the bow, throttle, or on the transom. There isn't any clicking that I can hear, but am going to check again here shortly.
So I was initially thinking the solenoids, but from what I have read there are two, and it doesn't make sense to me that they would both go out at the same time. Then I thought maybe the motor, but wouldn't I still hear the solenoids clicking?
So yeah, I need some direction. Thanks for any help you can offer!!
Scott
Edit: I attached a pic of the motor because it seems to me like there might have been 2 115's available that year, the other with a smoother cover. I could be mistaken, but there it is Justin case.
