Took the boat out today for the first time this year (long story). Ran great, but had a problem with the trim on one drive. The port drive would lower with trim switch, but no raise. Would go up fine if I used the trailer button, so the mechanicals are OK. I'm thinking it's a bad switch/wiring. Any thoughts? Might be a good time to add trim on the throttle - been planning to do that anyway.

Test/check your trim harness connections at the pump.
You can ohm out the trim switch to insure that it is functioning.
It could be a loose or faulty connection.

Have someone hold the switch while you "tap" the appropriate trim solenoid. Probably just got a bit sticky from non-use. This happens rather frequently here, but the wife and I ARE getting along in years. --- Jer
