The other day my wife heard a strange noise. When I went into the garage later on in the day. I found that my motor decided to trim up on its own into a wall stud and a water line (didn't break it thank god). My boat is at the dealer (who are awesome) getting looked at so hopefully everything gets covered under warranty. Prop could be cracked and prop shaft could be bent. Its a pretty depressing week.

I know Nitro had an issue on the front trim switch getting wet and doing exactly that. Perhaps it is as simple.
Trimmed up on it's own? Hummm?
I put the boat away on Sunday at 5pm. It trimmed up on its own 1pm Monday because thats when my wife thought someone was breaking into the house.

Just a thought, does your Phoenix have a master power switch? Might be good idea to turn it off after parking in the garage...will prevent this in the future.

It does but it wasn't wired that way. But now it is.
Definitely something going on with a trim switch somewhere... or you have varmits/ghosts in your garage.
