Can someone tell me what that button is for ? Is'nt it or does'nt it do the same thing as the up button on my throttle. If I push it the motor goes up just like if I push the up button on the throttle. This might be a stupid question but I had to ask,thanks in advance.

I havent heard of that one in a while, a good memory tho, the trailer trim angle is higher than a proper running trim so when done running trim to trailer is just that, for pulling the boat out.

Up switch will stop when trimming while running, so lower unit stays in water and picks up water to cool engine. If yours is not set right to do this you may lift motor too high and damage your motor. Trailer switch bypasses this cut-off so you can load on trailer.
