Re: 293 Steering at speed

Re: Trailer button for drives

Hello
My boat has twin Mercrusier 6.2 with bravo three drives. The controls are like in a offshore with the two throttle and two shifter levers. The trim button for both drives is on the one throttle lever. The two rocker switches are by the fire extinguisher.

Trailer button for drives

Hello I just purchased a 2001 293 cobalt and I have a question about raising my drives up on the trailer. Where is the trailer button? They went down with switch on the throttle but can't seem to raise them up. I tried using the toggles on the side by the fire extinguisher but I get nothing.
Please ...
