Yesterday my son was out in the boat with friends. They reported running a normal electrical load (radio, blower motor, depth finder, trim). The power trim stopped with the drive unit in the mid range. When the switch moved it just clicked. I took a quick look at fuses, hooked up the battery to a charger and went to bed.
In the morning I had the battery's cells checked and the battery load checked, cleaned up corrosion on the battery terminals and all the connections. I looked at the fuses and in the daylight I could plainly see the trim circuit breaker sticking up. I pushed it back in and the trim ran like new.
Is the circuit breaker popping cause for concern? I replaced the trim motor last year so I'm slightly paranoid about trim problems. It looks like a 40A breaker so it's a real attention-getter.
