trim help ??

[shawn706]

My trim works fine when I'm not moving. But won't come up under power.
HELP!!!

sounds like it is leaking back past the seals......

Try this, trim the motor down on a block of wood, release the manual release valve and run the trim up then down for 30 seconds, the motor should not move, tighten the manual release and see if that helps.

And see if your fluid is up to the bottom of the reservoir too. CM

thanks for the advise guys.
Is there a place on the web that I can look at some pics of what your talking about because I know nothing about trims except push one way for up and one way for down.

The manual release is on the left side (from behind) in a hole in the mounting bracket (slotted screw) turn it counterclockwise to lower the motor.

To check the fluid........raise the motor all the way.on the right side (from behind) there is a large slotted screw on the reservoir....remove it and fluid should run out....if not add some Bomb trim fluid.

Hope this helps.

Rusty, I'm getting ready try what you said. Should I expect for fluid to come out of the manual release, and will I drain my reservoir when I trim up and down for 30 sec? Also I checked fluid level and it was good.
Thanks

No fluid should come out, back the manual release out to the clip that holds it in and Stop.
