    Power Trim Issue

    I have having some issues with my power trim and hope someone can help. When my motor gets about halfway up it the trim squeels and really struggles to get the motor all the way up. It is getting worse and is starting to do it going down now as well. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

    I have grease on the rods and I dont think that is it. Could it possibly be the power trim fluid is low? How do I check it?
