I just bought a 242 and took it to get serviced. Motor and drive check out great, but they notice the trim tabs weren't working. If they jump them they will work. They think they can fix it if they can get into the door below the throttle, but it's locked????? Does this door use a different key than the ignition key? Or is there a trick to it? I'm 3hrs away from the marine.
Help!
