Trim Tab

[Icet]

Got a trim tab stuck in the lower position. They are Lenko's, electric. Getting no sound of a motor when I push the button. The other one is fine. Musky season open this saturday. Do not have time to pull the boat and get this looked at before Saturday morning. Anybody ever un-stuck one????

[double trouble]

it is either a stuck motor (bad brushes), ,burned out motor (get close and sniff it), or maybe you get lucky and its a bad electrical connection.start with basics. stick an electrical 12 volt tester into the wire just in front of where the motor connections are.ground the tester and turn trim on.if it is dead look at switches and relays or just the contacts.

I'm looking for my old Simpson 260 as I type this. Down in the basement somewhere. Thanks for the responses.
