    trim problems in a 2004 225 HO

    Have a friend here in Brazil who is having a strange problem with it´s motor
    trim. Out of water it lifts the engine till the end even with a person weight
    over it but in speed it just lift till the 3/4 mark. He talked with the dealer
    and he ( dealer ) told him that nothing was wrong with the trim. Any clue?

    It has a limit switch to keep it from tilting it or trying to tilt itself out of the water while running!

    Are you sure your refering to just trim angle? A motor won't go into full tilt while under motion unless your going real slow. You are probobly reaching the maximum trim angle. The second stage of the trim is for trailering and will raise the motor up high. If you need more positive trim to make it perform you may need trim extenders or a prop build.

    The motor will only trim to the full extension of the trim rods when running, When the motor is not in gear under a load it will tilt fully.

    There is no trim limit switch.
