Tilt Trim Not Working or outdrive stuck down? Here's something simple to try.

The tilt trim was not working in my boat and my volvo penta SM outdrive was stuck in the down position. The tilt trim wont go up and the switch in my boat did not do anything. In this video I realize that I do have a tilt/trim and it should be working! To get my boat safely stored in my yard for the winter, I NEED to raise the outdrive. So I look for some quick workarounds to see what's broken and if I can bypass the entire circuit to hot wire the motor to raise the outdrive to get it parked in my yard.

I will work on a permanent fix for my tilt trim mechanism and related components, but in this video I am just trying to get the outdrive raised temporarily which may also help determine which components may be not working.

I'm Wayne The Boat Guy - a few years ago I started buying water craft. I knew practically nothing about boats or kayaks before jumping into it with both feet. My channel is dedicated to all the boating and kayak related things I am learning about and doing because I want to share what I have had to struggle to figure out on my own with anyone who might be trying to learn or in the same boat as me!
