[QUOTE="njTom, post: 198048, member: 1702"] Have not had the boat out yet since purchasing it last november, but while winterizing it I noticed the up trim switch would cut out now and then. A friend recommended that I replace the solenoid. I replaced both (up and down) and still seem to be having the same problem. I can hit the trim switch at the motor or the control box and the motor will go up and down but after a few times of moving it back and forth when I push the up from either switch it stops working. I then can move the motor down and after pushing the trim switches up and down from either switch, the motor starts moving up again. Any ideas or suggestions of what I could try to figure out the problem? Could this be a short somewhere in the wiring? Thanks Tom [/QUOTE]
