I know there is a lot of talk about the trim up button not working and just using the trailer up switch. But my problem is that even when I press the trim down button after I let it go it trims up automatically. Have no idea what that problem could be. Was thinking maybe in my throttle handle the switch is going bad. Any advice would be appreciated thanks

Hello Rickbn and :welcome: to iboats.

When you say 'trim up automatically', do you hear the pump run? If so, are you sure you don't have a thing called 'Auto-trim' installed in the boat? Or is this a new problem that has just developed?

When you release the down and it stars coming back up can you barely touch the switch down and will it stop? If it does then its the switch
