Boat Repair - Trim and Tilt Motor & Reservoir
Expert: Everett Peacock - 10/21/2009
Question
The trim motor stopped working on my 2002/200HP Merc. and the outside of the case was Magnetized. After removing, I took it apart and it looked like some water or moisture got in causing a gummy mess. The brush springs had rusted and broken into several pieces. My question is. Where do you think this water/moisture came from and could it also be mixed in with the reservoir fluid? Needless to say, I bought a new motor but afraid to put it on until I know the fluid is OKay. Thinking you in advance for your help. Jim Stinnett, Clearwater Fl.

an electric motor has these parts... two magnets, brushes,armature, the armature is the middle shaft, brushes ride on the armature and that sets in magnetic field side a magnetic housing..
