				Tilt and Trim
			 
 OK, so here’s my issue 2014 Yamaha 200hp 4 stroke power tilting trim goes up and goes down but it sounds weak or laborious Like it’s not getting enough juice? . I checked the fluid. The batteries are new and charged could be the solenoid. Any ideas? |

No boat, back in the suds.     |

				 | Wayne, I have replaced the tilt motor at least twice on my 1993 200hp Yamaha. Both times with non-Yamaha parts as the Yamaha price was EXHORBITANT!!! Like 6x the price of the ones I replaced it with... |

				 | Had the same issue with mine (also a yami) a couple of weeks ago. Good juice to the solenoid. Try lightly hitting the tilt motor with a hammer. I think a bushing gets stuck or something. Worked for mine after we chased everything else.    (We'll see how long it lasts, I suspect replacing the motor isn't far out, even though it is fairly new) |

Mine acted up again tonight. Probably hauling it after the holiday madness to chase it in the driveway.

				 | Update. 
 Replaced the solenoid  that fixed the intermittent switch problem
 
 However still sounding labored ..  took  Bryan’s advice hit the pump motor with a hammer a few times . Sounds like normal. ( thanks).  Seems that will be the next thing to swap out in the future

				 | Wayne, for what it’s worth, mine had water intrusion in the motor.
 The bearing/spring had rusted and that’s what I must have loosened with the hammer but now it’s seized. So if it happens again that might be the cause.
 
 Replacing the trim motor and should be in business later this week.

Buddy's boat I work had similar issue.  Boat yard snapped off 2 bolts tryin to take it off a 6 yr old etec 250.  Had to pull whole engine off bracket to deal with.   It's been a month of no fishing  
Good luck.
