Subject: 60 HP 4S 2005 Mercury Tilt/Trim

Hello,

I have a 2005 60hp Mercury. The tilt/trim is giving me some Issues. When the boat is idle the tilt works fine; it goes up, and it goes down. I always tilt the motor fairly high when launching due to shallow water. after I get out out on to the lake I trim it down to my desired level and give it throttle. when the boat gets up in speed, the motor trims down on its own. I can not keep it tilted up at moderate to high speeds. Also when the boat is going at moderately to high speeds and I try to tilt the motor up, it will move, but then the motor beeps at me(that same beep I get when I first turn the key to turn the motor over) and the it trims back down. Has anybody else had this problem? If so can you suggest a fix for it? Or do you know what the problem might be? Thank you for your help.
