I came home and noticed that the transom saver bar was disconnected from the trailer which obviously meant that the motor had been trimmed all the way up.
I have four trim buttons on the boat (1998 Ranger R82) and none of them respond when I try to trim the motor back down. When I hit the "trim up" button it whines like it normally would but it doesn't go anywhere because it is trimmed all the way up.
Any ideas? It is obviously something electrical but I'm unsure of what it would be.
