"My power trim is acting flake

"My power trim is acting flakely. Every time I take the boat out I lose the ability to trim up from the switch on the throttle. If I jump the solenoid for a bit, then the switch on the throttle works fine again (for awhile.) What's up with this thing? I've never had a problem going down, only up."
 
"Inspect the trim limit switch

"Inspect the trim limit switch on the side of the gimble ring. The wires from the switch could have a problem / Bare wires, shorted between the switch,& connection where it connects to the main harness or the switch my be going bad.
Just an idea from what you said."
 
"Does the shifter/throttle hav

"Does the shifter/throttle have a trailer button to raise the O/D? If it works all the time, then I would suspect the harness inside the throttle/shifter arm. Mine did that and it turned out to be a broken red wire that made intermittent contact. Repaired it twice and finally installed a complete trim harness (from inside the shifter to the pump) and set of switches--no more problems since."
