[Double Trouble]

Went down to install my lower units back on my evinrude outboards today starboard engine finished. Port engine wont tilt all the way up it trims but when the tilt pistons kick in the motor stops.I cant seem to figure this out any help much appreciated.

Hi

Do you notice that the trim  motor runs slower than the other one ?

I think that the brushes of the trim motor are worn out, but before check the wiring, perhaps the main wire is broken.

Do you have separate batteries for each motor ? If so check your connections on battery posts.....just a thought.

Well went down to the boat and checked relays .I swapped them with the other engine and they work fine.I figured this was one of those misteries that was going to cost me a fortune, then I had a stupid idea its just stuck from laying all winter so I put a 4X4 under the engine with a concrete block and stood on it hit the button bounced on it a couple of times and she let go and came up. First time I got off that easy.

I think DT got it squared away.  He just had to use a couple of "persuasive" techniques...

I got it to work, the piston was stuck. I used that new tool they came out with called your goin to work or break tool, trusty old concrete block and a 4x4.
