Trim does not work
 

I just recently bought a mariah "jubelee" 22 ft deck boat 1998 model. Though older than my last boat this boat is great! Lots of obvious quality! Also, with age some things need to be repaired. My latest endedavor..... the trim doesn't work! It's way back on the right hand side and i just can't reach it. If i lay across the engine i can cross the selenoid out with a screw driver and make it go...so i assume its the selenoid. I would like to buy a new selenoid before i take the old one off..any ideas about how I can look up and order the proper switch? or even how to change it out without having to remove the exhaust( it has the kind that makes all the noise):)

Just a thought clay ,
Did you check to make sure it isn't the trim switch that is B.O?

Before you go spending money on something you are not sure of you could simply follow the "Troubleshooting your Power Trim & Tilt Motor System" guide in our General Maintenance section.
