OK, i know from personal experence that if one or more of my 3 T&T switches get really wet it will cause my motor to do what it wants as far as up & down (mostly up :confused:)
Saturday i was caught in a real bad downpour & had to beach for 3 hrs:(
All the way back to launch (in very rough water) every couple minutes the motor whould tilt up on it's own (guess you can guess problems that caused :eek:)
Got home & let it set with battery disconnected for about 18 hrs to dry, hooked it back up & then for about 6 hrs it would still act on its own, it's acting fine now but is there any way to prevent this from happening again :confused: I'd hate to replace all 3 switchs & that not cure the problem :(
Any thoughts or suggestions (besides keeping it dry? :p)
