    Noticed when I get to the ramp to trailer the motor and ma pulling onto the trailer, I will trim up to load but when I gun it to load her the motor goes down. I can trim it up again and step on gas and it forces motor down. Trim needs rebuilt or just needs fluid?

    Maybe I’m having issues because the ramp is super shallow and it trims down to touching the ramp

    There is an upper limit of the trim system that you cannot see because your motor has a single ram trim/tilt system. If you add enough power AND you are in the tilt range, the motor will automatically drop itself down to the top of the trim range. That is what you are experiencing. It is perfectly normal.
