    Clicking/cracking sound when trimming

    Motor is a 2006 250hpdi

    Hen trimming down and only down about 20% of the time I hear a clicking/popping/cracking almost like plasting that sounds like its breaking.

    This only happened this weekend?

    I have looked it over top to bottom and cannot find anything wrong or out of place. I spent 25 minutes trimming up and down almost drained a battery and cannot duplicate it out of the water. Any ideas??

    Oh its on a skeeter 20I if it matters.

    Chris, the ends of the trim rams need grease. I try and clean mine once a month (or there abouts) and then drop a small dab of a good waterproof grease on them.
