Trim Solenoids: Cleaning, Inspecting, and How They Work... And Maybe Fixing Them 

Excellent informative video. Now I have the rest of the story and confidence to troubleshoot & repair my issue of outboard not trimming back down. Thanks!

This is a really helpful explanation about the solenoid, thank you for sharing! I am going to add the remote trim switch to mine too, I'll be giving you a shout-out! :)

Thank you for explaining how this works. Nicely done.

Thank you. This was really helpful. And really easy to listen to and learn from. My trim pump isn’t working. So need to investigate the solenoids. And wanted to know what they do. You have enlightened me. Thank you.

Super informative video! Helpful with my trim pump clicking diagnosis, and actually a better understanding of testing resistance of relays/solenoids. 👍

Exactly what I needed. Thanks for doing this!!

Thanks for excellent video - had a few problems with tilt solonoids on my boat which are awkward to get to - and even to jump if necessary. Tried to re-furbish myself and concluded same as you - had to replace.

Wonderful video

Great Video thanks!

22:51 whu you hide your multimeter under your arm?:)

Hi, thanks for the informational and thorough videos, I really learned something! You said the coil wires where "resistance soldered", I tried to solder mine off but ended up just prying them off the studs. But then I had a really hard time soldering them back on with the little black things on them. Do you have any tips on how to do the soldering part (releasing and resoldering)? Are they actually resistors or can I just cut those off and solder the wire directly on the nut?

Could you show the wiring of the tilt down circuit instead of the up???

I have a Volvo penta outdrive and I’m having a problem with the trim skipping while going down but is fine on the way up.please help!

thanks for the info, question, why do you think a my trim going down works but the trim going up keeps blowing fuses?

Why the music doesn't hear what you saying

Nuts all over the place😂

Guy, thanks for the information….next time could you pick up the pace a bit 😴

I've done this & everything was great when I installed it the damn thing did not work. Just replace it they're under 20 bucks for 2 of them

Cheers. amazing these are not sealed units

Too much extraneous information. This could have been a five minute video. Not three days.
