![Question](/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
When running in hard in rough water, my starboard bravo is trimming out by itself. With all of the pressure on the drive, how the hell is this happening? I assume its something electrical, the pump must be coming on by itself, right?

It could be that you may have your hydrulic lines crossed. I have done this myself before back in the 1980's and seen it happen with a few other boaters I know of.

I'd say electrical too. I had an OMC Cobra drive on a Liberator where that happened. It turned out being a couple of trim wires were worn in the throttle handle and when it was pushed forward, they would contact and trim up the drive. I expect you have Keikaeffer controls, but I'd look at the wiring in the trim switches.

almost forgot about this thread...turns out the wiring harness at the pump was rubbing against a bolt, chafed and was shorting out. all set, Thanks all.
