Default Alpha 1 trim limit swithes ?

Rebuilt the trim cylinders on Alpha 1 drive and now drive only raises to about 7 o'clock and stops ..with cylinders off when bleeding they go full range ..They stop like limit switch has kicked in but trailer position switch does nothing ....I am almost positive drive should come up a few more degrees ....Adjust limit swithes ?

As far as I know, the trailer button by-passes the limit switch. There may be another problem here.

Yea.... I am thinking the trailer switch is bad ...but doesn't explain the stopping point of the drive ...maybe its all the way up ...but it seems it should go to about 8 o'clock postion ....been a while since I operated it ....

You Have A Faulty Wire Or Trailer Switch. As Far As The Drive Not Going As Far As It Used To Try Adjusting The Limit Switch. Caution Not To Go To High On The Trim Limit As You Will Do Damage To The U Joints. Drive The Boat First And Go By Handling And Speed Not Eye Sight On Trailer.

There are two switches on either side of Outdrive ...I assume those are limit switches ?

The sensor on the port side is the limit sensor and the starboard one is the trim indicator sensor.
