Thanks for the reply.
It is on a 2004 Tiara3200
Not only is it mounted in the anchor locker, it was installed before the hull and topsides were joined by Tiara.
I can see the installers in 2004 laughing at the guy who was going to have to change it out.
Same went for the Spotlight electronics. Just getting to the components was near impossible!
What year and model boat is this on?
You should be able to determine if it is the motor by using a meter on the leads coming from the reversing solenoid and having someone engage the switch. Obviously if there is power than it is the motor. In all likelihood it is the solenoid. On most models it is installed in the anchor locker which is not recommended by Maxwell due to the high amount of moisture present. The solenoid simply corrodes and fails. It is a pretty easy swap.
