    Pre Alpha No Trim Up

    Hey everyone, I have a pre alpha with no trim up. The switch is only a two way up, and down. The down works fine, when I hit the up nothing. I have voltage coming from switch.

    Some Fish Pics

    Don't know too much about boats, but know my way around a fishing pole so thought I would share some of our catches from this year. We do our shark fishing from the beach hence the large reels. Hope to get into some more species when I get our boat in the water. All sharks we catch are released...
