    2005 16' Duroboat won't trim up

    Thank you for the responses. I ran boat with the motor high previously without any luck. I had a Panther electric jackplate on there before and it behaved the same. I guess I'm gojng to look at how I can get the hull straightened. I may just have to keep living with it. It sucks.
