Evinrude 150/200 tilt problem

Make sure its at lease a #8 wire 30 plus amps, What is the amperage on the relays, bypass the relay box as a test and see what happens it could be faulty relays or bad pump. Post some pictures it helps ...

We have been tilting the motor up and down by putting the trim motor wires straight to the power and ground. No problems there. He bought the relay box of ebay for what we thought the motor was. Then I discovered it was a 74 200. Can we change the relays to higher amp relays? Or should I go with my original plan to get two Merc tilt trim solenoids for $50. The motor is 30 miles away fyi.

Yes if the wires are rated for it up the relays to a higher amps will work be sure to completely check from switch to motor for correctly rated wires.
