Default WE HAVE a WINNER ... Now What ??Trailerring Tilt Switch not working ^$%#
After bringging the Scarab out of the water on Sunday, the trim of the outdrives (both of them) would only move to the "6" range on the indicators (used to go to 9) and the trailer switch would not move them at all. Is there some type of override that might have kicked in or a limit switch not allowing the drives to go up further. Our bayhouse is only 2 miles from the ramp so i was not concerned about dragging the skeg.

Any ideas on what may be causing this?

Check the indicator cable. Might be kinked and bending, instead of moving the indicator.

The drive itself is not moving regardless of the indicator.

pres the drive trim button and the trailer switch at the same time. If that don't do it look at your wiring.
