    Trim Trouble?

    My trim seems to operate fine will in open water but when I give it that final punch to load on the trailor I noticed it droopped while doing this and messed up my prop. Any ideas on what is going wrong and what to check? Also can I check the trim fluid level with the motor in any position?
    Thanks in advance

    Trim the engine all of the way up, then flip down the engine support. SLOWLY, unscrew the trim fluid cap, be careful, sometimes it can build up some pressure. The trim fluid should be totally full.

    You have a bad seal somewhere. Some of these guys on here have rebuilt their trim units, so I'm sure one of them will come along and give you some better answers.
