Hello all:
Still trying to fix the Tilt/Trim problem on the 40 hp outboard. In looking over the Tilt assembly diagram, I see part (73) is a Circuit Breaker Comp.. Does anyone know if this breaker resets itself? My guess is that it opens with heat and closes when cooled. If not how is it reset? I get a clicking noise when I push the tilt switch but no motor runing. The engine runs and I can use it to drive but don't want to travel far as we have lots of mud and sometimes its shallow so would need to raise the engine.
This problem started when tide left me in low water and the engine was stuck in the mud. I energized the trim/tilt to get it out of the mud and it did not respond and hasn't since.
Anyone got an idea what went wrong??
Thanks for reading,

Would it be a good idea to manually adjust trim to get it to a dealer?
