    RE: Motor issues

    Hey Elwood
    Funny that was brought up...not that it happened.A buddy of mine has almost the same problem with his 2 yr.old merc 135....except not when it rains but when its freezing cold out.It just starts trimming up all by itself but after a couple of minutes of some choice words and trimming it back down it seems to be ok.Guess maybe you just did'nt cuss it enough :7. I'll be at C-land Fri. the 27th,going out of Jamestown. 20" maroon/silver?? Astro 200 Merc,struggling w/2 Fat^&*&$es in it.Hope to see you on the water.
    Look out you smallies Daddys comin to visit!!!!!!!!!!!

    RE: Motor issues

    At least his would trim down. Mine keeps coming up unless I hold the down trim switch on the main throttle and it will stop coming up but the second I let off it starts again. This only works for the first minute or so then it over-rides all of them and it will trim to the deck no matter what. I tried the cussing part but that did not work. I will be fishing from Harmon and Difficulty to the Dam from the 23rd to the 30th, Pro V Tracker 90 Merc, big ugly guy that has a 7' Rod bent plum double with a 30lb Striper taking drag on the main lake or 6' Spinning Rod bent plum double with a 5lb Smallie searching the bottom for relief.
