Once again I am back, as this forum is amazingly helpful:
I have the service department at our dry storage marina do the winterization for me (Oil change/fogging, etc.)and just like in years past, I 'dewinterize' it in the Spring. That being said, the boat was placed on the rack as usual and I noticed that the prop was in the completely lowered position, which is unusual, as we store it in the fully upright/trailer position (and that is how I left it at the end of the season last Fall).
After reconnecting the battery, I attempted to raise the prop at the console- Nothing...I then went to the stern controller- again nothing. It did seem to make a little noise when I pushed DOWN control, but nothing when the UP control was pressed. I have left a message with the service department to ask what may be going on, but thought I would inquire here to get some information..
I have not put the boat in the water yet so I have not attempted to start the engine, so could the 3 year old battery just not have enough juice to operate the trim mechanism? I did purge the water system and the water pump worked fine running off of the battery..
Thanks
David
