2001, 200hp Merc Opti with Smart Craft package. The last time I had the boat on the water last year the the gauge stopped working correctly but the motor would still tilt and trim using the switch on the throttle. I thought I would make the repair after the trip was over. After loading the boat on the trailer I tried to trim the motor up using the trim switch on the motor so I could put the transom saver on but it would only go down. It works correctly from the throttle and the switch in the front of the boat.
The question I have is, could the switch on the motor be causing a incorrect reading to the gauge on the dash?
Thanks,
HTB
