Trim keeps moving up on its own. It started to happen after a huge rain storm so I'm assuming the switch has water on the inside. It happens very intermittently. I sprayed an electrical approved spray inside switch and it seemed to work for a bit. Keeps happening. I removed the throttle handle but I can't move the black grip down enough to get to the switch. It pulls with the wires and seems like there's not enough play to remove the switch without breaking something. What am I doing wrong?
Little disappointed with the boat only 3 months old.

Good advice Phil, I'll give it a try and let you know.
Used WD-40 (blue yellow can) and so far so good after about a week. Doused it pretty good with straw applicator. No movement at all. I now wrap a small ziploc bag around the handle when not in use to prevent any water getting in. Thanks.
