Kawasaki 750 Electric Trim problem

[thumpar]

Go back to the jet pump and remove the fitting, brass nut and the little metal piece from around the cable. Then the trim assembly and cable come out as one.

Ok. I think I got it. I had to take a plate off the bottom and remove another big bolt from the back of the ski. Got it.

[cuddies]

Ok. I got it out. Now, what is the first thing to test/rebuild/clean?

[thumpar]

Well the problem with mine was that it had bound itself. I would remove the motor and see if you can turn the worm gear. I had to use a big wrench on mine to unbind it.

[cuddies]

What did you connect to move the motor? It seems as if it's frozen.

[thumpar]

You can't turn the motor by hand because of the way it is geared inside. Just remove it from the assembly and check to make sure the worm gear will move.

[cuddies]

You mean to remove the worm gear from the mechanism? From what I can feel, the thing that moves back and forth on the spiral worm gearn doesnt move.

[thumpar]

No, just take the electric motor out and will will see a hex head that you can turn to move the worm gear. That should rotate freely and the cable will go in and out.

[thumpar]

Take out the piece marked in blue. That is the motor assembly.

Ring gear and adjuster was locked up...looked as if it over extended itself. I took an allen and I broke it free, greased it up, and now it spins freely. I'm going to put it all back together now. Will pat myself on the back if it works, I feel accomplished. Thank you for the help
