Default Bravo Drive trims up, not down.

No click, no nothing. I have not had a chance to investigate yet.

Worked on Saturday evening. Trailered it home for 3 hours on Sunday and it wouldn't trim down when I backed in the driveway.

The boat does not have any electronic trim limiters or anything.

Any thoughts before I tear into it?

Thanks in advance.

jump the solenoid on the pump and see if it works, back-track from there.

Brian, check the connectors under the dash for the trim switches. Mine rattle loose on rough trailer rides.

Thanks guys. I know it's all logic--literally. I just wanted to see if there were any time saving troubleshooting tips and this helps.

Check the connection at the pump. I had the same problem Saturday. Pushed the round plug all the way in and we were back in business.
