Out on a larson 2007 ski and fish boat over the weekend. with the heavy lake traffic we drifted to the shore. I lifted the trim, and used the ore to get us in deeper waters. I got pushed back pretty quickly into the sand and didn't realize and started the engine. The prop started, but I could tell it hit the sand. I turned the engine off pretty quickly, and the trim will not lower now. Any thoughts on what I did?

You probably blew the fuse for the trim motor. But if you can hear the trim motor running, then there is some other issue.

Silvertip, You were right on target. Actually took it to the marine shop so they could check it out. They said they had received some Larsons that had the hydralic motors fail, and it was just the fuse. They showed me where the fuse is on this. Felt pretty stupid about it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Mike
