Hey Everyone,

Well I finally got my control box and fixed my problem w/ that. Took the boat out and it seems as if something may not be right w/ the tilt trim? It works w/ the boat out of water, but it seems to lack power when in the water? I have one of those big fins / to help get the boat on plain plane whatever easier? So I dont know if that is what makes it difficult for the trim tilt to move up and down while driving my boat? But I also pulled my boat up on shore, not very far, raised my motor before getting to shore, got my truck backed in w/ trailer, and hopped back in my boat pushed off a bit, put the boat motor in reverse, and it slammed the motor down to full up right position so it chunked up my prop pretty good? I did have allot of throttle on, so I am sure it was my fault, but even when I am in reverse at a mellow speed it slams my motor instantly into upright position like when pulling boat off trailer? Not sure if there is air in the lines, not sure if motor is bad, not sure how to check, or where to go w/ this? Not sure if this is normal? Please need some advise? Will probably just have it checked out? But not sure if its a simple check or fix? Thanks for any advise.

The Heck!:eek:
