I have both the owners manual and the Clymers shop manual. I'll definitely try the tach test, but even with the shop manual I'm a little nervous disconnecting wiring on the motor. more

The black fuse box definitely only has two relays, the rest are fuses. Above it is a panel that the repair manual calls the trim relay. It's a single panel with several wires connected to it. I think, a blue, a green and at least 2 red wires. That should be the likely source but the clicking is coming from the relays in the fuse box. There are two 3/4" square relays. The fuse box has two clips to take off the cover, the "trim relay panel" has a seperate cover that has to be unscrewed to get off.
SCFisher, did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem. I have 2002 Yamaha HPDI 150. The power tilt works going down but not up. I can hear (and feel) it clicking on the square relay in the fuse box. This shouldn't cause the problem since it's the ignition relay. The manual says to remove and test the relay panel above the fuse box. It looks easier to simply replace the square relay.

Water in the switches is always a problem. I have seen motors trim clear into the boat during a rain storm or race motors clear into the cowlings. Another good reason for battery cut off switches.

Took boat/motor into the dealer. Of course the trim was working this time. No problems found by mechanic. Voltage looked good, yadda yadda yadda. What kinds of issues can cause the trim to work off and on in a motor 1.5 yrs old? more
What's the likelyhood that freezing temps are involved? At the time it wasn't working temps were mid 20's F. A week later temps were 60-70 F and worked fine. Do these systems get water/condensate? Last use of the boat, I had washed it down with pressure washer after trip to salt water. Any possibility that might have gotten water into it? [links]

The serial number tag is located on the UPPER DRIVE SHAFT HOUSING (starboard side or on the back of the housing).
The model number tag is located on the top outside edge of the CLAMP BRACKET; or, on top of the SWIVEL BRACKET (port or starboard). here
The model and serial numbers of the vertical drive should be located on the engine model and serial number plate. If the vertical drive model and serial numbers are not recorded with the engine model and serial number, they can be found on a plate located on the vertical drive. The transom mount model and serial number plate is located on the inner transom plate. here
The serial number tag is located on the SWIVEL BRACKET (port or starboard); or, check the INSTRUCTION PLATE, located between the thumb screws above the steering tube.
The serial number tag is located near the STARTER, by the flywheel housing; or, on the ROCKER ARM or FLAME ARRESTOR COVER.Transom plates: The serial number tag is located on the INNER TRANSOM PLATE inside the boat; or, on the UPPER SWIVEL PIN.

The average car key only has a few hundred thousand combinations. If an automaker sells 200,000 cars per year, chances are pretty good that you could unintentionally unlock someone else's car door—especially when you consider that car door cylinders have even fewer tumblers than ignition cylinders, which means even fewer combinations.
How To Fix It: The best way to do this is to get a new lockset, with new keys and a new cylinder. You might consider getting a matched lockset that includes the door and trunk cylinders. here
It’s a fact of life that mechanical things tend to wear out, and the same goes for mechanical keys and key cylinders used in your car’s ignition system. You may insert and remove the ignition key thousands of times every year, wearing the key and tumblers ever-so-slightly every time. Heavy keychains can add more stress to the ignition cylinder, increasing wear. After a while, the key may fall out of the cylinder or be unable to turn out of the lock position. Or, an unworn key may not turn a worn ignition cylinder, as they haven’t “worn together." here
