ARRGGHH more pre opening day problems
Anyone ever had their outboard trim up all by itself and not stop? The key isn't even in the ignition....it just arbitrarily decides to turn itself on. Not sure where to even start looking for the source. There are 3 switches. Front bow, throttle handle, and right on the motor but wasn't touching any of them.

Relay?
Might possibly be one of the trim relays? Your "up" relay could be stuck in the engaged position.
What motor do you have?

TheHoser, mine is doing the same thing!!
It's stuck and trimming down though. It's something to do with the switch on the moter though. When I took the cap off, I could see a plug on the inside of the tilt switch and disconected it. The trim stopped and my trim on my throttle still works fine.
It has to be in the switch for me. I haven't found the time to take the swich off and look at it. But it's probably just some dirt or corrosion short circuting it.

I don't know, you're asking the wrong guy....I've been married 10 years and just found my wifes g-spot 2 years ago.TheHoser wrote:Is there a switch in the motor for every switch on the boat then?
The throttle switch is definately independant from the rear switch though. Can you disconnect the rear switch? Do you have a throttle tilt?

Now no more embarrassing discussion that trims Evinrudes.
