TILT AND TRIM QUESTION

[MATTKENSETH]

WHEN YOU ARE GOING WOT DOES THE TRIM STOP GOING UP NORMALLY OR SHOULD IT GO ALL THE WAY UP AND OUT OF WATER IF YOU DONT WATCH IT?????<br /><br />1999 MERCURY 200 HP EFI<br /><br />MINE ONLY GOES SO FAR WILL RUNNING JUST WANT TO NO IF THIS IS NORMAL

Depends on the motor. My old Force will continue up. But it is a single ram unit. <br />I believe yours has separate trim and tilt rams. And only the trim will operate while in forward.<br /><br />Go #17!!!
