Default In a bind with Trailer Trim

Getting ready for the weekend and went to trim the drive up and nothing using the trailer trim.

Motor trim works fine. But trailer trim nothing?

I had moved the pump of to the side to fefinsh the floor yesterday and it di tip on its side for a moment.

However after reinstallation I trimed it down to install a drive shower and now it will not trailer trim, only the running trim.

Is the solenoid clicking? Did it leak Fluid?

If the solenoid is not working, clean wire connections and retry. If this still does not work, and you cant find a replacement right away you can jump it with a screwdriver or wire jumper like a starter solenoid.

Ok Dumb A$$ here with a new boat.

After pulling the switch panel and using my test light I found the purple from trim was power out for up and has a jumper to the trailer switch.

So I say to self how could it have power to the trailer if I don't have the other switch activated......ya hold both down...

First boat that the trim was not on the handle (dual controld) so guess that is a safety so you don't activate the trailer trim runnig.

Trim limit switch stops it then you have to push both switches.
