are you referring to the trim upper limit switch that keeps the OB from raising further up ?

that switch is simply a normally closed switch andallows the T&T to rise
it mechanically opens the UP circuit feeding the UP relay since it is wired in series . AT the upper limit this stops relay provided high amp. current to the T&T motor up movement

trim switch is fed on B+ fused at 10 amps . wires getting hot would indicate the presence of current flow coming from the front or cowl "up trim switch"
i'll post the wire diagram in a minute

meantime check all connections ...check switches. clean contact surfaces in connectors.

Had that same issue (been awhile) and the Cro's helped me thru that.

Another common prob is the tilt mechanism will make a screech type noise going down sounding like you need a new or need to clean an internal bushing. There is an easy fix for this common problem.

Let us know if this is an issue.

Fun fact, the Gen one 150 is a 6 cyl. And the Gen two is a 3 cylinder.
