Ok, I got a 87 tx17 tracker, my puddle jumper, I love this boat, I use it in Spring Tourny's and small lakes, (It will go shallow).

Got a Tourny this weekend, luckily found a few guys that aren't a club but get toghether and do alittle big fish tourny on Sat.'s

So, I go out this afternoon to get everything ready, hit the tilt and click, hit it again, click, check the battery, it's good and charged, hit it, click, down up don't matter, anybody know any quick fixes out there???? My big boat is winterized and don't have time to get everything checked out and ready before saturday.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cya on the Water,,,,if I ever get there

I will see what I can get from my neighbor.Had the ame problem last year.I want to say there is a relaythat you can override.But I do not know exactly where it is.I know this does not help you tonight but If I catch hin in the morning I will get back to you.

There should be two relays in a black box bolted to the motor and one is for raising and the other for down. They are a doulbe pull double throw relay that if you take one off and go to any auto parts store should be able to match them up. Should be the same as power windows or power locks. Just get one and try it on both just to see if it works and if not take it back to parts place. Hope it works.

You are apparently getting some kind of power because it clicks when you hit the button. Is it locked up, maybe? Can you manually move it up or down?

The wiring will be green (grass. down) and Blue (Sky. up) Those things get contrary for no reason. Mine will go off about every two years and run down my battery.
