New guy - new used boat
So I recently got into the boating world. Picked up an 87 18 Fisherman that has been well maintained. Just installed a Fishmaster T-top, electronics box, rod holders, etc. this past weekend. I've got replacement below gunnel rod holders on order from Flounder pounder to replace the ones in the boat (all cracked and brittle)
Latest thing is having issues with the trim/tilt on the 140 Evinrude (already replaced the relays.) Clicking heard, but no motor noise. Pulled the harness to direct wire the motor to the battery to test for function and got only sparks. I'm guessing a short in the lift motor?

Hi and welcome to the site.
Usually when you hear clicking the relay is pulling in but there's corrosion that's preventing power getting to the motor. But if I understand you correctly, you say you jumped across the main relay terminals and just got sparks, so then it (the motor) needs to come apart for a visual inspection.

I had the same problem with my 89 110. It turned out to be a bad trim pump motor. I tapped it a few times and it freed up but it was shot.
