another HELP!!! Yamaha Engines

[kregars]

All....Yamaha 130's Salt Water Series II (twins) were down when I left for work this AM, went out thinking the kids had raised them, but when I put them down they automatically go back up.  I think I have linked this to the switches on the motors for placing the engines in trailer mode as when I go to the helm and lower them they stay down for about 30 seconds then raise themselves.  If I stop them from the helm they will go back down.  If I try to stop them from the switches on the motors they continue to raise.

Any idea's?  Sucks as I was about to have the boat floated for the season and am freaking out that it will have to be delayed.  I have disconnected the motors from the batteries for now after getting them lowered but I need to find the cause/fix ASAP.

Thanks again..

i had a 115 merc do that.  it was the trim switch in the shifter.  kor

After testing, I found that the switch was bad.  Ordered and finally received said switch for the binnacle and replaced it and no more returning to the boat to find trim/tilt motor having had drained the battery.
