Changing the trim angle of an outboard, causes the bow of the boat to raise higher, or drop lower, to the surface of the water. It is used most often to soften the ride in rough or choppy water, or to plane the boat out quickly.

Why does your tilt trim on your boat go up and down when im not moving but drops when you move and wont come up when im moving?

The tilting trim on your boat may be experiencing a hydraulic issue or a malfunctioning trim switch. When the boat is stationary, the hydraulic fluid can settle, allowing the trim to move up and down due to gravity or pressure changes. However, when you're moving, the pressure created by the water may prevent the trim from rising, possibly due to a blockage or leak in the system. It's best to check the hydraulic fluid level, inspect for leaks, and ensure the trim motor and switch are functioning properly.
