Default Trim gauge reading wrong

Hey everyone,

I noticed my Alpha One wasn't moving properly and so I checked the fluid, sure enough it was fairly low. I filled it back up and it worked like a charm.

But now whenever I use the trim, the gauge is inaccurate. It bounces a lot and never goes fully "down" despite being down. But it does move along with the drive, just as if its calibrated to being higher on the gauge reading.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

You can adjust it by turning the little puck shaped senders on the sides of the drive.

x2. The starboard side is for the position of the trim gauge. The port side is for trim limit.

I am guessing I'll need an adjustable wrench or something to turn that sender?
