The trim works going down, but will not go back up with the switch on the throttle. Have to use my trailer switch to get it back up. Also when this happened yesterday I noticed my gauge was not working at all. Any Ideas where I should start? Oh a side note it worked all weekend until late last night when leaving after fireworks.

Oh and it is a Bravo 1 drive if it helps.

Ok think I found my answer. Looks like the senders are bad and need to be replaced which requires pulling the drive! This should be fun.

Shortcut if you are short on time or money before a proper repair. Build a spade-lead Image jumper to bypass the trailer switch. You will be able to use the trim from the trim button without having to hit the trailer button, but remember that you will be able to trim all the way up while underway, so you will not want to hold the switch up for long.

Thanks for the tip, but that would be a ton of work considering the placement of my trailer switch up on the dash near the gauges and my Latham controls. Guess I am just going to run it with no trim up switch until the end of season. Not a big deal considering the places we go. I can just use trim down to feel once I get moving.
