Yes that's how I get it down is the mrv.. if I'm using the button, when I put my weight on the motor, u can hear the trim motor working faster as it goes down. I'll check out ebay [links]

The engine definitely sinks on it's own when MRV is open?
AND the trim motor is definitely spinning when you press down?
AND it still doesn't work? [links]
Re: 1978 evinrude 115hp power trim won't go down
The motor does go down when the manual release is opened, now it's leaking, tried to tighten it with a wrench, won't stop leaking fluid. Can the o ring be replaced in there? more
When I put the green wire to the positive, the hydraulic ran much faster than using the switch on the throttle, but someone had to be standing on the motor for it to move down. The up button quit working all together, had to manually energize the solinoid to raise the motor. I tried tightening the manual release, I still cannot get it to stop leaking, I'll probably gave to fork out another 75 bucks for the manual release valve. Could the leaking manual release valve cause the motor to not go down?
open the manual release. If engine does not fall from gravity then one of your rams or pivot axis is seizing.
There are 3 wires on the trim sensor and a ground strap.
Locate the 3 pin connector under the engine hood towards the front (transom) side of the motor. The connector is triangular.
The connector should have the white/tan wire from the sensor as 2 other wires.
You should be able to see the sensor and the plastic arm attached to the potentiometer shaft. Move the plastic arm up an down and look for the ohm value to move from high to low etc. more
Also check your voltage at the gauge. With the ignition on there should be voltage between the purple and black wires on the back of the gauge. more
my 2005 75hp ETEC did the same last year. I had to get the seals serviced. Even after refilling the oil eventually spilled out . Doing a reseal on the T&T is apparently not rocket science . but I chicken out because I would have had to get a special tool to take it apart and my annual fishing trip was coming up
the 75hp ETEC needed special BRP bio degradable oil ($$) but based on various comments I went mineral ($) no issues yet T&T worked fine all summer last year….. more
Re: TILT & TRIM Evinrude 115
Joe,<br /><br />Your solution fixed me right up. Thanks a bunch.<br /><br />Until the next problem,<br /><br />Doug [links]
DJohns. Even though the engine has been raised, the trailering tilt lever lowered, and the engine then brought down to rest on it, the following can take place.<br /><br />The trim rams, even if they're drawn half way in are more or less at what one could call a neutral position. In that neutral position, that allows the engine to jump up and down while running down the road.<br /><br />The trailering brackets are simply a limiting area when having the engine in the tilt position. The trailering bracket keeps the engine from moving down, the hydraulic pressure on the trim rams keeps it from moving up.

Re: TILT & TRIM Evinrude 115
Raise the motor all the way up and remove the round screw on the tilt pump fill to top and replace the screw. operate motor up & down and down several times to remove air in the system then refill. more
Kiekhaefer and his fellow decision-makers saw the future, and the future was four-stroke outboards.
To provide perspective far more credible and better-informed than my own, I reached out to Fred Kiekhaefer, the former president of Mercury Racing. If anyone knows the history of marine propulsion on the technical and economic sides, it is Kiekhaefer. more
“When outboards became regulated for emissions, all brands in the marine propulsion world were challenged,” he continued. “Mercury, Johnson and Evinrude— in particular—struggled with the engineering and economics of compliance. Mercury moved to first OptiMax direct-injection two-strokes, then briefly Yamaha-sourced four-strokes. Next came Verado and finally the current generation of four-strokes. OMC committed to Ficht direct-injection, then to E-Tec—and both were two-strokes. OptiMax had issues. Ficht was a disaster.”
“I’m am sorry to hear Evinrude’s gone,” he said. “Back in the 1980s, my company machined gearcases for OMC (Outboard Marine Corporation) and their big Evinrudes—that work kept my company alive during earlier, difficult times before we were acquired by Brunswick. Today, the dealers and employees are the ones who will suffer the Evinrude brand’s demise. Sadly, it is not of their doing. Rather, it is the ultimate result of choices made by OMC and BRP leadership, and our government regulators, going back a long way. more
The COVID-19 crisis was the final straw for the struggling brand, according José Boisjoli, the president and chief executive officer of BRP. more
