Relays.........One for up & one for down, they are famous for sticking. They can be interchanged, both are the same relay just one for up & one for down, most everybody says switch but 9 times out of 10 its the relay, they are located under the cowling. usually about $10-$15 a piece, had this problem a couple times, bought 2 new ones & replaced, took the used good one that was on the motor & vacuumed sealed it & left it in boat for a back up. Had one stick in the down position while trying to put the boat on the trailer, I couldn't pull it out the water without tearing the skeg of the motor! Won't happen again!
