Drive Indicator Issue???
I am having a problem with the drive indicators on my Adrenaline. When I get on plane and start to trim out they will not pass 4 or 4.5 on the visual indicator near my controls. It is like they run up and then just get stuck. I have had this problem since day one and have not been able to get it rectified. The drives go up and down fully without a problem, but the indicators just stop. I have checked the lines and made sure they were greased. I have taken the indicators off of the drive and tried to pull them all of the way out and that does not work either. What could cause this? Like I said it has been like this since the boat was built and it happens regardless if it running or on the trailer. All suggestions are appreciated.

If Its Not A Cable Issue ,Cable Should Go In And Out All The Way ,Then Its In The Indicator Unit It Self,Maybe The Hole For The Indicator Is Not Big Enough And The Slides Are Binding On The Glass????What Kind Of Unit Is It??

They look like the regular stainless Eddie Marine Mechanical indicators that show tabs and drives I am not sure where they came from though. There are no sharp turns from the dash to the Stringers, but that is where I cannot route them any further back...??? Isn't it weird that it will go some of the way, but not all?

Sounds like that's as far as the drive will trim while underway.
Can you verify the drive keeps moving up while the indicator stops moving? I would think there's a limit to how much you can trim the drive with the engine in gear.

There was on my baja. Not much more than half way up....any more and you needed to hit the trailer switch too.
