When switching the relays see if the problem changes directions.

Pontoon motor tilt. I recall a long time ago they used to have a trailer. By Guy Gaspar Before you tear anything apart or replace wiring and switches test it out. The blue wire gets 12 volts only when the toggle is.

First by visual inspection by pulling back and forth on the wires while operating the switches and then test with a meter. In this video I go through the manual tilt lock bracket and shallow water mechanism on an outboard motor. To avoid this scenario you could tilt the motor up.

Older systems often used an electric tilt motor coupled with a mechanical lifting device such as a worm gear. At the commander switches the red wire will always have 12 volts. Mercury Bigfoot outboards come in 40 hp and 60 hp ratings.

An adjustable transom was popular years ago when pontoons used 20 HP engines. This can be done either manually or electronically. Tilt and trim adjust the angle of the motor and thus the running surface of the boat so they determine the smoothness of the ride the grip on the water the ability to jump on plane and many other operations.

Good morning and Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Pontoonboy Eglideriders advice is right on for your issue move the motor up by the mounting holes a little at a time to see if your issue gets better. Evinrude has a Pontoon Series of E-TEC outboards offering a gear ratio that improves low-end thrust a software file to enhance engine performance at idle and low speeds and specially designed motor mounts to reduce vibration.

In a matter of minutes the Panther Integral Trim and Tilt fastens directly to your exiting motor bracket without modification. Tilt is the mechanism that allows the outboard motor to tip radically forward far enough to raise the part of the motor below the actual engine called the lower unit as well as the propeller to the surface or completely out of the water. Such elevation is beneficial especially when you are driving through shallow waters.
