2017 Pro XS 115 Trim/Tilt

[Slab Daddy]

The trim/tilt system is intermittently raising up the engine by itself about every second or two. The switches seem to work - can tilt up and down with the switches but it keeps tilting up by itself. Had to disconnect the battery connections to the engine to stop the tilt system. This was happening with every thing shut off and the key out of the control. Could this be a bad solenoid?

Not knowing your situation I would say that the contacts within the tilt-trim relays are pitted due to old age and are sticking when they should be releasing. I would start with a couple of new relays and go from there.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try that. It only goes up a little bit each time so there is a make/break connection happening somewhere.

Try the new relays first. You won't be loosing any thing even if they don't fix the problem.

Put the new relays in this afternoon and it seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you very much!
