Hey guys so I have a 12hp copperhead. Motor and everything works flawlessly. My problem is I can't get my manual trim to stay set, it just keeps backing out. Anyone else had this issue or maybe have some tips or tricks? Thanks |

I have owned 3 and have never seen or heard of that problem. You could try some Loc-tite or bring it over to Copperhead as they have great service. Is there any chance you bent the prop and that is causing extra vibration or something? |

Yeah my 14 did that. I took the factory trim off and added my own electric. You can pm me on mmc if you want details. It was Easy to do. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk |

For the guys that said they did have the problem, I am curious. Does your boat vibrate alot and what kind of boat is it? I have heard a boat builder say they redesigned to minimize vibration and harmonics which are a problem even with the Vanguard vtwin engines which are definitely smoother than the 1 cylinder engines. I guess I could see it happening if you are bouncing off of logs and stumps alot as well. There are not many stumps in either of the areas I hunt. |

Turn the backing nut in as if your tightening it, should fix ya up. |

If you hold the motor off the trim it will back out on the few I've driven but as long as the motors on it it usually stays |
