HELP! No power to starboard trim tab and drive motor
OK folks, I go to take the boat off the trailer tonight and the starboard side drive will not go down from trailering position. I happened to try the trim tabs and the starboard side trim tab also wouldn't work.
It looks as if there's a power distribution block back by the engines that supplies power to both the trim motor and the drive motor. I wasn't prepared, so I didn't have a test light, but it looks as if all of the fuses (That I could see) were fine.
Any ideas? I was trying to track wires from the trim tab switch and drive switch but everything was too tightly bound together...
Thanks in advance!

1st make sure your batteries are charged before you do any serious digging. Always try the simple fixes first. Maybe, try switching your batt. switch and see if you have power to the starboard side and not the port, then check batts.
