The trim function on a Minn Kota Ulterra I-Pilot trolling motor may not work if:

1. The motor is in the prop lockout region (17" from bottom of motor mount to center of motor), which disables all functions except manual steer and track record.
2. There is a need for recalibration due to malfunction. This can be resolved by turning the motor off, waiting 3 seconds, then pressing the power button 3 times within 2 seconds to initiate recalibration.
3. There is excessive friction or mechanical resistance, which can be reduced by applying grease to the necessary parts.

These settings or conditions can prevent proper trim function.
