took the boat for a ride Tuesday.left Rutland at 4:00 AM.At 5:30 we were set up and trolling with riggers set at 5 to 10 feet with speedy shiners and mooselooks in brass or gold colors. caught about 8 salmon in the 3 to 4 # range in water that went from 46 to 51 degrees over the morning time.Boat ran great but the motor wouldn't trim up when it was time to go home so we had to get in the water at the ramp and release the hydraulic pressure and lift the engine up by hand and lock the trailering bracket while standing in the water,Man is that water COLD! Will find out why it doesn't work soon.Saturday we did about a dozen in the same area.

turns out the problem is in the PDP,or power distribution panel ,which is a little $400 box that has 7 fuses and 4 relays plugged into it.this distributes the 12volts to the relay which is activated by the trim switch which turns on the trim motor which raises and lowers the engine,which allows you to get the darn motor on the trailer without draggin it on the concrete.....part is not in yet,supposed to be here Friday 6/8.....whew!!!
