Anyone ever see this? _________________ 1650 ribbed abused by a Gt-35 and push pole reverse

Similar thing happened to mine in less than 10 hours and it was the switch. Mine is similar to a regular toggle switch on center console vs the rocker switch like on the tiller handle _________________ Pete Willett WC Custom Boats - Tyler, TX http://www.wccustomboats.com WC Custom 2048 3/16 Bottom Center Console with 35 PD EFI GTR WC Custom 1840 Hybrid 3/16 Bottom with 37 EFI BOSS

willett MMT Sponsor Joined: Wed Jan 14, 2009 10:22 am Posts: 1764 Location: Tyler, TX	powertrim will only work while running Never checked with a meter. Mine would only work when it wanted to. It would go down most of the time just fine, but very rarely would go up. It happened like second day of real season and I had an old rocker switch from a winch and hooked it up and it worked perfect. It's actually still on there right now. _________________ Pete Willett WC Custom Boats - Tyler, TX http://www.wccustomboats.com WC Custom 2048 3/16 Bottom Center Console with 35 PD EFI GTR WC Custom 1840 Hybrid 3/16 Bottom with 37 EFI BOSS

Re: powertrim will only work while running I've seen a bad switch not let you move in one direction or the other, work intermittently but never only work with the engine running. Could be the switch or connection

Thanks for all the input and help _________________ 1650 ribbed abused by a Gt-35 and push pole reverse
