Alpha1 leg trim goes all down but comes up only part way there is 2 solenoids if i bypass the top one it lifts

Answer 1

Does your Throttle control have two trim buttons or just one?

For a two button trim system.  The trim button is for lowering the lower unit all the way, but it will only raise it high enough to keep it still submerged.

The second trim button, called "Trailering" raises the trim all the way to the very top.

However, if this is a single trim button system, do as Jim s recommends.

Answer 2

Sounds like either your trailer/tilt function on the trim switch is not working, or the trim limit switch is faulty.  You need to refer to your service manual on detailed instructions on how to test these.
