FAQ

This solenoid is compatible with Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser outboard motors ranging from 35 HP to 275 HP.
This unit replaces OEM part number 89-96158T. It also cross-references with 89-818864T, 89-846070, 89-94318, 89-96158, 89818864T, 89846070, 8994318, 8996158, 8996158T, and Sierra 18-5817.
If you hear a clicking sound when you press the trim switch but the motor does not move, or if the trim motor runs in only one direction, the solenoid is likely faulty. You may also experience intermittent operation or a complete lack of response from the trim system.
Replacing the solenoid is a straightforward task that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a basic socket set and a screwdriver. Before beginning, ensure the battery is disconnected to prevent accidental shorting of the terminals.
Before installing the new part, inspect your battery connections and ground wires for corrosion. A poor ground or low voltage at the solenoid can cause premature failure of the new unit. Ensure all terminal connections are clean and tightened securely during installation.
