    Trim problems?

    Hey guys, while practicing last week my down trim went kaput. All the stations work in the up direction but none, not even on the motor, work in the down direction. The motor doesnt even engage, I can release it manually but what a pain in the butt. HELP!

    Sounds like a failed relay. Swap the relays around (they're both the same) and see if the problem follows the relay.

    They're in a small rectangular enclosure on the rear of the motor.

    if you have a motor with the trim switch on the side of the motor just follow the wires back to the relay.
