Fishing up in Canada. When I was getting ready to leave the trim switch activated out of the blue 'up' and would not stop. Disconnected the battery, reconnected everything worked. Usually use the boat for two weeks in the fall. I'm guessing it's a relay issue. Wondering if I can just disconnect relay clean it up contacts. Or do you think I should get new relay.

Water can get into toggle-style trim switches, causing them to activate, in the up direction. It would be prudent to see if it is switch or relay.

I guess I'll have to investigate further. That morning I was leaving the lake was rough kicking water on the motor. Of course everything is working properly now. I'll have to YouTube troubleshooting the switch.
