    150 VMAX trim issue.

    This morning while running I noticed my trim kept going down. By the gauge, about 1/10 per mile. Also noticed while I was fishing it was dropping on its own. I suspect there is either a bad seal. Also thought it may be low on fluid but it goes up and down fine when you push the button.

    Is a seal easy to replace or should I haul it to the shop? Any other things I might check?

    you can do the seals but will need a spanner wrench

    Before you go looking for that wrench...find a piece of aluminium and built one with nuts and bolts. Saw it on here...somewhere...where they built the wrench and fixed their trim problems.
