My drive is stuck in the down position. If I push the trim down button I can hear the motor running but no noise at all when I push the up button. It is an omc motor and drive. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you |

From what you describe, the motor/ pump is clearly working. First of all try checking if the plug in relays at the pump/ reservoir are not loose; then swap them over. Then, check the wires from the trim switch at the pump/ reservoir. I can't remember the colours, but down is +ve on one wire, up is positive on the other with a common ground! If the problem is not there, it's further "upstream" towards the trim switch. Graham |

Also check the fluid level. The pump can run all day and not move the outdrive an inch if there is no fluid in the system. If it is low or empty, you need to find the leak and repair it or this problem will recur. |

Try a little dielectric grease to get a better connection. If the motor was running trying to go up as well, then you should check the fluid level. |

I misread this and thought I read that the pump was running in both the up and down mode. Disregard my post above. Sorry! |
