Two electrical problems I need help with, please:

(One):  No power anywhere, except to the trim unit.  Battery is fully charged and has plenty of juice, 850 cold cranking amps.  Checked red push button and it has power to both sides.  Fuses on top of the engine, underneath the cowling all looked good.  Fuses underneath the radio, where the main panel appears to be, all looked good.  Nothing on the instrudment panel works, including the key to turn the motor over.  Augh!

(Two):  Trim is stuck in the up position.  Electrical and hydraulic noises when up-trim pushed.  Only electrical click when down engaged.  Jumped the down solenoid and it started to go down, but motor did not sound smooth.  What next?

The topic only needs to be posted once.

Is the boat floating? If so, the easy solution is to yank the garboard drain plug, then go somewhere to get a burger...

The no power problem is "easy" to fix.

Attach the multimeter minus (-) black lead to the battery negative terminal. Use the multimeter plus (+) red lead starting at the battery through the power distribution to discover what is failing to pass voltage.

Problem two may improve after problem one is fixed.

It might be the shift interruption Switch. It is a rocker type mechanism on top portion of motor. If it is stuck, the motor will not start. (Thinks it is in gear).

option 1 is the one my wife would take wingless but i would just go with the second option.

Simple and sometimes overlooked is the kill switch, make sure it wasn’t bumped and is off. Should be ON. Good luck and follow back up as to the solution(s).
