  • Trim button on 703 control

    Trim button on engine works fine but the button on throttle handle only allows engine to lower down won't let it trim up ??
    Any ideas guys?

    Trim button

    I had the same problem on my 703 control. A new one costs over $100!

    Remove the control handle from the box (One 10mm bolt at the rear of the box). Carefully remove the screws holding the plastic (neutral), stop, remove the two holding screws for the switch.

    Once you have the switch out, VERY CAREFULLY insert two small flat screwdrivers on either side of the press-button. Part the housing slightly to free the two pins on either side and lift the button out of its housing.

    Inside the housing you will find a small copper plate and a small spring. Remove the plate and check for dirt and signs of arcing and clean it thoroughly.

    Replace the plate and check that the small spring goes back in as before when you replace the button. Reassemble the unit and it should work. –

    Good luck!
