trim

This is my first season boating with my "new" 2008 310 DA. I previously owned a 260 DA. When I owned my old boat, after getting on plane, I would trim up my engines a fair amount and got a smooth engine noise. With my 310 after I get on plane, if I trim up my engine the slightest bit, my engines...

Has anyone else had the problem of an over-sensitive trim on their 185 Sports. Mine has a swim platform and tower which might impact the balance of the weight. The boat has the 4.3L 190HP merc and I am running a 19P Laser II prop. I am used to an outboard (where I had a lot of play with the trim...

Hi, Maybe someone can help me. I went out with no problems one day, then 3 days later I went to go back out and my am/fm radio is out, my cb radio, my 12v outlets, and my power trim to raise and lower the outdrive is stuck in the up position. I checked all the fuses behind the steering wheel and...

I replaced the trim/limit senders on both of my drives recently. they work great! the limit switches are now adjusted correctly, and so are the trim senders. Here is my issue; my gauges are foggy, so I bought some new ones. they are the old teleflex style with the chrome ring, and it is...

A few weeks ago I had an issue where I could not get my port engine Alpha I sterndrive unit to go down. The motor would run, but nothing would happen. I ended up having to "help" it down. When it would go by itself it was -very- slow, then it would stop again and need some help. I got the...

I have a 2000 270DA with the twins. Last year, I replaced all trim senders and limit switches, and everything was working great. I just splashed this year, and neither of my trim gauges will do anything. I double cheched the senders, and they look great. I then replaced the gauges because it...

Just purchased a 2006 185 Sport. Took it out for first time yesterday. Running at low rpm there is a noise that sounds like the trim motor running. Apply a little throttle and it goes away. I have read it could be flex plate rattling in transmission, bad U joint, I have no idea where to go...

My sterndrive units were in the trailer position for some time. Today we went to take the boat out and I can not get the port sterndrive unit to travel downward. The starboard unit works fine. When I move the port trim switch down, I can hear the trim pump running as it does when it's...

Receiving a Trim Fault warning and beep with cruising at about 15 mph. Had the marina look at it and they said the trim funcion on the out drive is working properly but thought maybe there could a defective sensor(s) in the out drive. $420 to replace both due to need to remove the outdrive, is...

Greetings, all: I have a 1989 268 Sundancer (7.4l merc w/ Bravo outdrive) that is having trouble with the power trim system. When I got it out of storage, I raised the outdrive and heard a loud groan about half way up. The outdrive shuttered some, but it did return to the fully upright...

Hi! Changed the trim sender kit last year. After this the trim meter on the dash board moves just a tiny bit until it swings full up. the trim limit is working fine , and so is the trailer switch part as well. From what i found the resistance in the sender is 0-240 ohms. but running the meter...

I'm relatively new to boating. Getting the feel for my boat I have been trying to figure out the optimal setting for trim on the engine and setting the optimum location for the trim tabs. Does anyone have some simple rule of thumb recomendations while running at 10 mps - 40 mph? Thanks

I remember someone posting information about a remote trim switch. Maybe it was at the SRO site. Anyone with some information? It seemed like an inexpensive add on and I'm getting tired of climbing on the boat to lower the trim. Thanks
