Hi guys I have a question for you. I'm having problems with my drive. It will go down but wont go up. The trailer button on the remote will not bring it up either. When I press either the up button or the trailer button, I hear clicks but no movement. This boat is an 87' 18 classic with alpha drive. Has anybody ever had this problem.
Usually if it runs in one direction it will run in both, I think its either a bad connection or a bad solinoid. Most systems reverse polarity to change direction, not sure on your application.

<Has anybody ever had this problem?>
Hell yeah, at least once a year.
It's the up solenoid.

Check the wiring in the shift-lever(Base of unit) I have found these wires rub and break over time. Mine actaully shorted out at 3/4 open throttle blowing my trim-pump fuse. :( Replaced it and covered w/ wire loom...all's good wink Electrical problems are one of the most difficult to diagnose sometimes so check all sources carefully wink Good luck!
