We replaced a cold cranking battery in our boat now it wont work we have a 94 mercury xr6 motor. HELP?

Question

the boat is a 95 NItro

Answer 1

ok... here it goes.. motor trim color wires green, blue,red..

      blue is up

      green is down

      red is power going into the relays...

  follow the wires from the trim motor up into the engine area... you can jump these wire ... meaning switch them from the relay and ee if the problem changes if so..then you have a bad relay / switch.... either the motor works or it doesnt.... good luck... get back at me if you need more help....

Answer 2

if it worked  before  double  check the battery to see if it is  the right one..Check the Elect. connections  for Greenish deposits anywhere on the cables ,wiring,Make sure all screws,     nuts are tight ..proper grounding,,

Answer 3

so is the battery dead would be the charging system or the wrong kind of battery

Answer 4

u blew a fuse...or the tilt/trim relay is bad.

easy repair

Answer 5

Have you tried to disconnect the power trim from the motor and verify that it does move freely?  Have you lubricated the motor's pivot joints recently?  Is the power trim electric or hydraulic driven.  Have you inspected the reservoir's oil level to see if it has enough fluid to operate if it's hydraulically controlled.  Test the continuity on each electric trim piston to verify they work.  Good luck.
