Here's a weird one...I hav
Here's a weird one...I have an 88 4.3 Cobra...and when I trim the drive down with the engine running in the water...I get a shock from the throttle control if I am touching the steering wheel (stainless destroyer style wheel). I didn't think that enough current went throught the trim system even if a wire rubbed through inside the handle that it could give you a shock...maybe because it's a high amp circuit? I also wondered if some of the high voltage from the ignition system could be somehow getting into the trim system and trying to reach ground through the throttle handle..it won't shock me unless I am touching the metal steering wheel at the same time. Any ideas of what to check?
