Problems with the trim / tilt motor. I ran out of time, so I have given it to a man to fix it. The motor casing has corroded through. There is a thread on the electrics section, and I had a lot of good advice, but I have been away, and so not time to fix it myself. I'm gonna have to take a mortgage out to pay for it, but hey - if I can make it on Sunday, it'll all be worth it :-)
