Outdrive not going down or up
 
I have a bravo 3 Mercruiser. When trying to lower the outdrive from the throttle, I get a clicking sound. Any thoughts?

I would check your 20 amp fuse next to the trim solenoids, try jumping across your solenoid to see if it is a bad solenoid, check and clean all connections.( I have had several solenoids that looked like they were bad, but after cleaning the connections, they worked like a charm. Connections should be bright and shiny.) Also, make sure your battery is fully charged.

I actually did that after doing some research online after posting this and you are right. After cleaning all connectors, it worked. Thanks for the reply.
