Drummer Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks to all for the great advice on how to chase issues I was having with my trim/tilt and oil alarm. Here's what I learned: The flat oil harness had an intermittent open circuit where it is pinched to go under the cowling. The main harness also had an open circuit there that affected my trim UP ability. My trim DOWN issue was the console switch, which I resolved by taking apart, cleaning the contacts, and reassembling. I did a wire repair in the oil harness and replaced the main harness. Now it all works great. How to have fun with a volt/ohm meter. I am living the dream. Thanks again.

Capt. Troy Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Good to hear that. That flat harness duped me for a good bit. It was intermittent. Wire looked good as a visual. Bought a new harness ran it across the deck and problem solved. Installed new one and then took the old one out and stripped off the insulation. One strand of wire left on one of the wires where it entered the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
