"The trim sender itself is on

"The trim sender itself is on top of the steering shaft inside the transom. Disconnect the plug, hook up an ohm meter, trim up and down. Change in reading indicates the sending system works.
But if You have the boat on a trailer, check the cam on top of the steering helmet first as mentioned above."
