Took the boat out today and ran into some problems with the trim. The
motor is a 1993 Evinrude 140. Let me see if can describe each of the
behaviors that I experienced.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like the trim switch at the throttle has failed. Odds are the
internal contact has popped loose and is making when you don't want it
to.
Well, I did some more troubleshooting this afternoon and was able to
reproduce the behavior with the boat out of the water and the engine
off. It seems that the runaway trimming occurs only when the ignition
is on. This happens from both the throttle and motor trim switches so
long as the ignition is on. When the ignition is off, I don't have any
problems with either of the switches. Any ideas?
