Trim Pump Question

[Surfer]

My trim pump switch got stuck in the up position, and ran for about fifteen minuets before I noticed, now it takes several punches of the button to get the drive to move. I can hear the solenoid click in, so the switch isn't bad. Whats the verdic, solenoid points carboned up or brushes burnt?

When re-assembling my boat, I used a good used pump. It only worked for one or two times before I had to dis-assemble the solenoid assembly and clean everything. Corrosion builds up on the components and doesn't conduct. :idea:

What George said, plus if the pump is old, may as well rebuild it while you're at it. Also look at the switch, those contacts may be pitted as well.
