Drive issue..won't go up

skennelly

When I pulled the boat 2 weeks ago I had an issue raising the drive...it eventually worked after trying it a few times.  When it didn't work I didn't hear any noise from the pump like it was trying.  Down works okay.

Slenoid?

Black_Diamond

Yes. There are 2 solenoids, one for up, other for down. Same p/n for each.

Thanks.

I keep a few of these solenoids on hand as they dont seem to last for me.  I have one pump that is likely on its last legs and as such i tend to go through at least one or two solenoids a season.  I also keep a 2ft piece of wire in my toolbag on the boat to jump out the solenoid if needed and get back to the dock.

Don't forget to test the switch, test light on the solenoid, just to be sure.

Yea when I bought my boat I had to hit the button for a few times for the drives to move if it had been a few weeks. When I had the bellows all replaced I had those solenoids replaced too and they have worked perfectly since

Give the solenoid a tap? That sometimes gets them working.

You could have thrown a little blue pill in the reservoir tank. I heard that works well. LOL

But if it stays up more then 4 hours you have to call the Doctor.

Up for 4 hours, I'm having a billboard made to tell everyone.

You certainly can tell who all the old men are on this forum.  Any topic that talks about going up, staying up, keeping it up...little blue pill!
