Hello, in the last 5days i have a problem with my limit switch,
I changed this year both power trim sender and limit switch and till now they both work fine. Five days ago, while the trim position sender works still fine, i can not raise the drive using the up botton but only using the trailer button. The trim position sender still works fine. The boat now is into the water. Can i reudjust the limit switch while the boat is in to the sea?
Thank you very much.

Sometimes the up button raises the drive till 7/10 and sometimes 0/10 and then I use the trailer button. The issue started right after 30minutes traveling in very rough sea in aegaian sea. I was hopping that after all of these jumps the sensor needs the calibration again.besides ,the sensor is totally new. Is there any problem if I try to re-adjust the sensor while the boat is into the sea?

I mean there is no way to ruin the sensor,if it is not already ruined by another reason. Correct?. I was wondering if from the jumps on the sea, the bolts of the sensor or the bolts between bell and gimbal, inside of them is the sensor got loosen.do you believe that this may happened? I cannot believe or understand how a totally new sensor became faulty after 20days into the sea....
