Default Bravo 1 trim limit?

Hello,

I had the boat out for a few hours this past weekend. It's really the first time under my ownership that I ran it up to good speeds.

I came across 2 issues, but the one I'm looking for answers today is about my trim capabilities.

So its a 24 Python with 454 Mag and Bravo 1 drive. I can raise it and lower it just fine, even all the way up when loading on the trailer or idling.

The main issue I noticed is under power. Is there a trim limit (safety feature)? I can only get the trim up to 3/4 down on the gauge when moving, and that's it. Again, Im new to this boat and performance boating in general and wanted to see if I actually have an issue or if it ssuppossed to do that.

Thanks

Does it just not want to trim up once your on plane?? If so the lines on the pump are probably backwards..been there, done that....

That's probably the best way to describe it. How can one tell if lines are backwards?

Thanks,

Yes, in answer to your question there can be a trim limit switch. Do you have separate trim and trailer/tilt buttons? If you do, you have a trim limit switch.

Yes, I have two separate trim and trailer switches. Can this limiter be adjusted?
