Hi guys I am having two small issues. 1st issue is within the first 5 minutes of starting and idling out of the channel to the lake my 96xp will “bog” in a sense even at WOT and go no faster then idle speed. I’m thinking it’s a rectifier issue but once it does it if I let off throttle for ten seconds and hammer it again it clears up and doesn’t do it the rest of the day. I can fall off and it starts right back up. That’s why I’m confused. If it was rectifier wouldn’t the charging system stop? Or can it be that intermittent thing and goes back to working after that clears up? Last summer it did this to me when water testing on trailer so I put in a crappy Chinese eBay rectifier and it made the problem happen all the time. So I put the old one back in and ohm tester the connections inside the stator and everything ohmed out where it should. I’m just wondering should I just try a new rectifier from osd before trying a new stator? I have not checked voltage while it’s running this year but it was fine last year when I checked it. My second issue is with the trim. It worked on the trailer, gauge and nozzle. I put in a trim doctor trim fix module. I just rechecked all connections and they seem ok but when I press the start/stop button the gauge kicks on but the motor doesn’t move. Checked the fuses in the ignition box and they are not blown. I pull the trim motor off the worm gear and still have no movement. I then disconnected the motor and hooked the motor directly to the battery and it goes both directions so the motor is still good. Is there anything in the grey box related to the trim or maybe I have a messed up connection in the hood since I know everything pigtails off the info gauge? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thank you!
