Glad to hear this. Thank you

Bump

I use a mobile marine mechanic for our 1985 SeaRay Monaco which sits on our dock (out of the water) in Canada all year round. The mechanic showed up to winterize the engine unexpectedly and did not have the keys to the boat. He texted me after he left and said he winterized the engine, but i...

Thanks. Yes, we only use it in order to dock in shallow water. Couple questions: - If I adjust the trim limit by loosening those screws, will it go as high as the trailer button allows for? - Do I need to worry about affecting the trim low point if i adjust the high point, or is the low point...

What two screws? And which way should I twist?

My 1985 Monaco used to allow me to use trim button to raise the prop all the way up, similar to the trailer button. When I had the bellows done the marina also fixed the trim gauge because it stopped working, but now I can’t raise the prop all the way up and have to use the hard to push trailer...

Yup, you are right. That's the button that I will need to use from now on to raise it!

They left it like the picture shows. I don’t know if I have power steering tbh…

Wow! That's a lot of information :) I don't have the time or the patience to do all that myself so I am happy the price i paid was reasonable. I found the Trailer switch and it is in fact working. The button is hard to press though! I think the Trim button is also working fine because at the...

Hm, I will need to look closely. I don't recall that.

this red circle is the only button I know that can trim the motor. There are two rocker switches on the top next to the compass that say 'Bow Down and Bow Up', or something along those lines... They don't seem to do anything...

Correct, I stop hearing the straining when it hits the limit.

There is no other switch on the boat that I am aware of that adjusts the prop other than the trailer button you are referring to. That's the only button i use and it's still not going higher.

Oh I see. Where is the trailer button located? I guess my grandfather removed that limiter because we need to raise and lower it every single time we drive the boat.

I have only ever adjusted the prop using the up and down trim button located on the throttle control. When I picked up the boat after the gimbal bearing work they replaced the trim limit sender wiring as it was chewed up and the gauge was not showing the trim level. The gauge now works, but the...
