RE: [omc-boats] Good News ... Bad News

You're talking about the tilt motor, right? Not the engine. The battery is
fully charged. I thought as you did - that the clicks meant the solenoids
were working. That leads me to believe the problem is with the tilt motor.
If that assumption is correct, I'm not experienced enough to understand why
the motor would intermittently work prior to totally failing.

I had to replace both on my 66' sportsman. Normally
the click means the power is getting through the
solenoid but it isn't enough to turn the engine. Is
your battery fully charged?
