Boat stuck on the trailer because the trim won't go down? Can't pull onto the trailer because your boat won't trim up?
You might have a solenoid problem.
This video explains how to test and repair your Mercruiser tilt and trim solenoids.

Here is what you need to get this done:
➡Solenoid: amzn.to/4bvcysh (get one for each direction that doesn't work, or just replace them both)
➡1/4 inch socket set: amzn.to/4bCgNC9
➡6 in 1 screwdriver: amzn.to/4byOrJ7

    Top Notch Video sir. Question got the same thing going on with my starter solenoid. Alpha one 3.0 .So i ordered two new ones. Looks the same 4 prongs just two on top two on the side. Should work you think?

    What if mine doesn't click at all. Could it be the switch itself and how do I fix that?
