GTR Trim went out
Last night while we were flounder gigging my trim quit working, I went to trim up and it was barely moving then just stopped. I pulled the relays and the control box apart and checked all of the connections. I got it to move one more time and it only moved about an inch and stopped. Any ideas on what I should do next?

Re: GTR Trim went out
Mine went out when the motor had one hour on it... back in 2007. They replaced the whole unit under warranty, but it sounded it was common.

Re: GTR Trim went out
I take it you have one of the GTR's with the controls on the handle? I do not know anything about those and how they are wired. Did you try to jump around the switch to see if it would move? I've seen the wires get a bad spot in them right where they go into the trim motor and it would ground out and not work. Thats about all I can give you at the moment,sorry.

Re: GTR Trim went out
A buddy of mine has had 2 go out on him in 3 yrs. Switch the relays if it works its the relay if not you probably need a new trim unit.

Re: GTR Trim went out
I jumped the trim straight to the battery and nothing happened so I sent it back to Gator-Tail. I got my new trim motor in this past weekend and put it on this afternoon. Now I am back in business. Thanks to gator-tail for the great customer service.
