Ok, that is what I wanted to know. To clarify, i would never use the trailer button to trim when running. And I did go into some shallow water, but only trimmed with the trim buttons, as if i needed more I shouldn't be in there. I'm prepping it now for season, so i had to move the drives up to get to the zincs, exhaust bellows, clean, paint, etc., and taking time to understand how everything specifically works. I bought the boat through a broker, and after sea trail and paperwork I was handed the keys. So I lacked someone knowing the boat and being able to go over stuff with me. Now I have the opportunity to look at everything and how it works, which gives a much needed comfort level. And, when I used the trailer button today to get at the bellows it would not raise up one side, one side all the way down, the other at the up most trim position. The one trimmed up raised using the trailer button, the other stayed in place. This is what got to looking closer as to how it works. The trim buttons do not always work. I turned the switches on, played with trim button and it started to move. I could then raise with trailer button. I cant figure out a pattern as to when they work, and do not. Something is not right.
