Everything was perfect when we put the boat in - 2007 larson lxi and today the battery was dead and after charging it the trim doesn't work at all- when we try to trim it the trim gauge jumps but stays at last setting- all wires seem to be in place and there is no trouble shooting guide i can find. any ideas would be appreciated

Have you started the motor with the newly charged battery? It could show charged but be very weak..

What outdrive do you have? A serial number for the engine or the drive is almost a must have for a 2007 vintage.

we have started it and ran the motor for quite awhile . There was enough voltage being generated to operate trim.

Do you hear the relays in the engine relay box click when you try to trim up or down?
Did you check the fuses and circuit breakers in that electrical box?

This may help you locate the fuses and relays.
