Hi Everyone!
Sooooo... I take my checkmate out after storing for winter and the tilt trim seems to be frozen or seized. Engine was left on transom saver over winter not completely up or down. (if that matters??) I do seem to remember it leaking down when parked last summer. (Motor fell very slowly over a few hrs when off) I have checked the solenoids and (they both click) both light a test light when pressing button is appropriate direction. I then decided to test the motor (3-wire) by putting power directly to the wiring. Blue +, Green +, and Black -. In these tests all I get is a spark when connecting wires like a dead short. The motor does not run in either direction.
Wickedrister (forum name) if your out there... this is your old boat! I know there is no one that knows it better than you. I would love to talk with you if you have a chance.
I am hoping some of you guys can help shed some light where I have no experience.
BlackMax 135 V6 88 model SN begins with 0B. 3 piston, 3-wire hydraulic system.
Definitely a bad motor?
Can I release hydraulic pressure without letting air into the system?
Is there a way to free up the motor without replacing?
I really wanted to take apart and see if I can get the electric motor running while not connected to the hydraulics.
I have Clymer service manual and it states that if electric test and bleeding system do not repair take to a shop and gives no further instruction.
If somebody could describe the removal/replacement procedure that might help.
Should I even try a repair like this or is it beyond the scope of home repair?
I believe this is the motor replacement on ebay. Seemed to be a match for the 3-wire rectangular Eaton I have.
