On my Mercruiser Alpha unit, that's all the way up in the trailering

Better have your u-joints checked often. That's why they have the trim
limit switch.

Isn't that the limit I mean?

Not at the trailer position. The trim limit is the point at which you have
to use the trailer up switch. If you ever have a drive off, or see one in a
shop, look at what the full up angle does to the u-joints. It puts a
terrific strain on them to run above the trim limit. Have seen them blown
out, even at idle.
