low voltage is main problem keep battery near 13.2 volt a 12 volt battery is 50% charge .Emergency steps to lower or lift the lower unit while in the water
switch ECM relay, tap on relay motor , open screw on the side. low voltage is main problem
full charge battery is at 13.2 volt make sure you are above 11.5 volt and cables are clean
Lifting a DF 140 lower unit requires 3 turns on side screw and about 150lb of lift using man power or hoist if the issue is due to trim motor going bad we recommend to have it fix ASAP as it is difficult to lift the motor .
outboard requires
On outboard tapping trim motor works well, follow the electrical wire near steering to locate trim motor and tap the head.
On i/o system inboard outboard usually fresh water boat with Volvo engine . loosen the hydraulic and relive the pressure and then you can move the lower unit. there be spill of hydraulic fluid . tie the lower unit using ropes to correct position so you can get home. do this if battery is charged otherwise see if battery can move everything by getting a jump . swap relays for up and down as well.
Thank you so much for showing me how to work my motor, goes up but not down, but at least I can release screw to drop it, amazing
does this happen on both switches and fully charged battery . a 140 hp is near 450lb and a pain to lift using 3 strong guys.
Fixes it…the old Fonzie trick ‘bang on the jukebox!’ Works every time! Thanks man!
Don't go boating if you hear Fonzie and a loud jukebox
Out of nowhere actually I was in the Atlantic Ocean and the trim went up and then just died but it didn't go fully up just enough to make sure my boat would never get back on plane now I'm in a quagmire trying to figure out what's going on but so far he was just about the most informative video thank you
wow did you make it back. one of your trim switch is getting wet and had bad water shield .. discount it ..I have a bow switch that is bad and every time I hit a big wave engine would go up . .
You just saved bunch of money and this is not even a Geico commercial . You can buy me a coffee or beer to celebrate your achievement by pressing thanks next to like button .
The tapping did it…can’t believe it…but now I should probably take it apart to check it out! Thanks man!
Hey - good information. I just brought home a brand new Suzuki 175 HP. Really excited until the trim would not go up. I just literally drove the new motor home. Trying get away from my old Suzuki motor problems. Yikes. Thanks for temporary fix. Now I need a permanent one. 😀
battery needs to be near 13.2volt check for connection corostion and charge. did both switch failed you.
@@boashna - both switches failed. However, the down will work. Just before I left the marine mechanic he put the trim up and down. After a 30 mile drive it doesn’t work (up). The batteries are charged. We will see. Your video is timely I will use the screw option. Thanks.
@@flash521 down is easier to turn so start with low voltage on battery . battery should be charged for 10 hrs at 10 amp if you are below or near 11volts
@@boashna - Thank you. The battery voltage once plugged in for both batteries were fine. So, I did lower the boat engine using the screw technique -- GREAT - backed the boat the rest of the way into the garage. Door shut. 😀. Here is the deal. Once the motor came all the way down and I re-tightened the screw the up trim worked. Engine raised - no strange sounds - just as it should. So, we have a little mystery here. Was it a fluke? (Rhetorical question) I guess I will find out. I did let my marine mechanic know and he thought the main power switch was off - but it wasn’t. Anyways - your technique worked for me THANK YOU. We will see what the future holds? Thank God for His mercies.
@@boashna - Again thank you for your tips. I did find out the problem with my Suzuki 175 HP. My marine mechanic came by who rigged the new motor. On the motor there is a sensor switch that allows you to set how far you want the engine go UP. It is a little switch you can move with your finger. You push it all the way down, or where you want it, to control how far the engine trim will allow it to rise. Such a “little thing.” He showed me and I moved it with ease. I shared I did not find it in the manual. He smiled and said this is something mechanics are familiar with and not shared in the basic manual. -- So all is well. Hope to break in the engine when the wind lets down.
That's good 👍
Thank you !
Tilt quit working and tapping on it fixed the issue
Bravo - check the voltage as well we need to be 13.2 for full 100% charge and have a screw driver available for insurance to open the emergency bypass.
Great video Thanks buddy
I did the screw thing and it went right down, thank you so much
good job - are you trying to fire all the high paid mechanics well you can if you watch my frugal boating .
There’s also a switch in the middle that cuts the motor off when it hits a certain height that goes bad you can use a flat head screwdriver and push in on it to get your motor to go up all the way
You are correct- Tilt Limit Switch on newer engines. Most often problem with tilt is bad or low voltage. people think 12 volt is good but you are at 50% charge . 13.2 volts is 100% charge . look up voltage charge chart for more info . I have a video here for it too.
I have problem like that, but the switch canot bro, i check all system overal good, than why to for can be up and down, cause i this case the position in top side, and when day i do stars engine can't up and down bro, any suggest for that one?
Love your vids mate thank you
The trim on my 40HP Honda goes up and down, but if trimmed up it slowly goes down. Any ideas what's wrong?
you have a leak - if leak is internal then no fluid will be on the ground and no big deal. Tighten the emergency screw shown on video.. if this is an issue during transportation on trailer you may have a lock tab near the steering cable next to engine. let us know how this effects you.. if it is on water engine should be down anyway and ignore the problem.
You sir are special
I don't even know why I made this video ? may be because I thought people will thank me for saving them and they will support the channel . You are the only one this month to say thank you . oh well 20 thumbs down for what lol
@@boashna some people take things for granted
low voltage is main problem on new boat. 12 volt is half power and 13.2volt is fully charged battery . see other videos about voltage .corrosion on battery side is also common.
Thanks man I’m gonna try it
check your voltage a full battery is 13.2 volt a 12 volt battery is only 50% full
I have the same boat and motor and the trim leaks so bad and get stuck up. I’ll try releasing it to drop down
My 2013 trim was replaced because electrical issue free in 2019 with a 6year warranty
My manual tilt screw is threaded can yous please help?what do I do?
I do not understand the question .. send pick to boashna@gmail.com give as much as information possible. you can text here as well
Great vid, Quick question. On a 125 outboard force motor. Do you happen to know why my trim motor is making a loud noise once it's red positive line is simply touching my battery . Even before I have touched the trim toggle switch . It's making the same noice as if im touching the switch even when I am not touching the switch ? I'd greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide! Thank you so much for your help 😊
switch is active disconnected follow the wire and unplug very easy to do. I am not sure what you mean by noise . noise to me it needs to be lubricated ..do you mean sound . make sure all grease nipples are greased and trip has fluid .since you are not a subscriber i get your text late. ask more questions if you need to . Trim switch can be activated by very small amount of saltwater if not sealed .
If u unscrew the bolt is it suppose to drop all the way down my motor will not
it is hard to tell what needs to be done but motor has a lock to support the engine make sure it is not engaged. if the boat being parked in saltwater without usage steering , throttle locks will freeze. do you see rust on shaft , if possible move it back and forth us. use your weight to push it down . there is trim limiter near steering by primbulb on suzuki . tell us where you keep it and age and last time you used it .
I dont have a screw to release the hydraulic on my boat and i vany figure out how to get my motor up help please!!!
I am late but if you unscrew the hydrophilic line they will spray you but you can move the motor then use the rope to tie the motor in correct position. , charge the battery to overcome rust on connections or switch fuse and relay from up to down or down to up .They have a relay and fuse . listen to click to locate relay when activated. tap on relays to get them working . all of this is caused when boat is not used and things get frozen including steering and jack move everything once a month.
You’re a f***** magician
I am not a magician . True magician is a repair shop that moves your money from your pocket to their pocket. I had a repair shop telling me that they needed to reset the computer on my car and they needed me to get a rental car. I said you are going to disconnect the battery and connected back and you need me t get a rental car .. my car was ready in an hour .
Very right about that for sure. Either way, this video helped. Thank you!
Lol how can u troubleshoot all that and ive watched like an hour of other videos and couldnt get all this info
thank you .. always start with low voltage . full charge is 13.2 and 12 volt is 50% charge capacity .
If the motor is stuck in the up position, and you can hear the motor sound of the relay, can it still be a relay problem? I feel like it gets air locked somehow. This has happened twice to me on my 60 HP Mercury outboard. And loosening the screw didn't make it come down...had to remove it completely before it did. What could be wrong?
check battery voltage and check for corrosion , use emergency screw on side to bring it down , use switch on motor not throttle if this continued let me know and i read service Manuel for you
my bet is low voltage jn battery or low water level in battery check corrosion on relay fuse also
The tapping did it…can’t believe it…but now I should probably take it apart to check it out! Thanks man!
