So I have the next couple of weeks off work and have been planning on spending the majority of the free time on Strawberry. We were finally getting the boat ready to hit the water and found that the tilt and trim is no longer working.
My dad knows a fair bit about electronics and we traced the problem to the tilt / trim motor. We opened up the tilt / trim motor and found that someone had "repaired" it at sometime in the past and did a piss-poor job of it. Because of poor soldering the wires were shot, and the motor brushes were breaking.
Anyway, I desparately need to find someone that can help fix this quickly and for not too much $$$$. The main part of the motor looks ok, it is just that top part that had the wires and brushes (the part that could easily be meddled with) needs some help.
Any ideas??????
While I'm at it I would probably also get the impeller looked at for preventative reasons.
