I have an 88 Champion with same year model Johnson 150hp engine. My tilt and trim had been working fine but the switch on the motor was broke. I replaced and trim worked fine last trip. Went to use boat today and heard trim motor start to work and then it quit. I can hear relays click but nothing else. tried shorting across wires but nothing. Could find no fuse to replace. Tilt motor burned out?

probably. I would take it off and have it checked and or rebuilt. I have an altenator/starter shop in town that have rebuilt about everything electrical on my 91 stratos.

It doesn't look good for my tnt motor. Unplugged main two wires and jumped a hot and ground to it both ways, nothing. First I hooked a hot wire to one side and tried to ground with test light. Light would come on but motor will not run. Any advice or directions for removal? One screw looks impossible with conventional screwdrivers. thanks
