tilt and trim problem

[ronnie]

I have a 2003 ranger 205vs with a yamaha 225 v max and the tirm will start
raising motor while going down lake. I have to turn 30amp breaker off to get
it to stop. But the trim switches still work up and down with this breaker off.
How does this breaker have any thing to do with trim? What is causing it to raise on its on?

It's probably a bad trim switch in bow of boat, you can disconnect the forward trim switch(trim wires usually connect at or near control box) to see if solves problem.

Thanks, I feel pretty stupid because I forgot all about the trim switch up
frt. The *****ing motor cable was on switch causing motor to raise. That is the only switch that is con*****ed by the circuit breaker too.
Again thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
