thejollysinker Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 Went down over low this morning and dragged the old girl over to a little bank so she’s nose down to make it a little easier to take the whole PTT off. Was easier than expected which was a relief. Amongst all the other shit I’ve had to cram in today, I managed to get the motor off and was pleased to see there was no water ingress and tested the ram with a screwdriver which works fine. The motor was turning freely by hand but, the little right angle female connector to the brush had separated which I’m hoping is the only issue. I know I have some of these somewhere but couldn’t find them. I’ll buy some in and reconnect it all up to test and hopefully that’ll do the job 🤞 Andy135, Saintly Fish, Geoff and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Good stuff. Fingers crossed it's a simple fix after all 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollysinker Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 yeah, cheers Andy. Can't see anything else amiss. Just ordered some brass connectors, better than the the other ones I hope, otherwise it's gonna be a yearly job and I don't really want that 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollysinker Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Well it's finally sorted! The old motor was knackered drawing to much current which melted all the new wiring I'd carefully crafted so, it was on the hunt for a new motor. It's a bloody nightmare trying to fing spares at a reasonable cost. I found the exact part from one site but at 687 Euros was very quickly dismissed. Loads of pattern parts from China for around £120 but no measurements for the hole spacings etc etc so couldn't commit to buy as resposibility is placed on the purchaser with no returns blah blah.... Finally settled on the same part from a British supplier at £165 all in so went for that. Perfect fit apart from the woefully inadequate O ring supplied so had to source one of the correct size and bingo, motor fitted, sealed and tested in the garage ready for fitting today. Timed it perfectly with the tide, unhitched the back end mooring line, pulled her round and waited for the water to disappear. Got to work on fitting a new solenoid/relay pack, fitted the refurbed trim unit and re-connected the battery... quick test and I was good to go. Tidied up all the wiring with ties etc and watched the water flood back in very quickly with the Southerlies, got home and had an early beer 🙂 Looking forward to going out when there is a break in the weather (which we all know has been horrendous for weeks 😞) to try my new steering most of all... and very happy now the trim motor problem has been fixed and hopefully won't be giving me any issues for a good while to come ☺️ Edited November 13, 2022 by thejollysinker Andy135, GPSguru, JonC and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
