Trim motor problem.

That year model was notorious for having the brushes in the trim motor stick. Change out brushes and clean all the graphite out with compressed air.

I'll check it over good for leaks. If it gets to the point of having to take it apart, I'll take it to my mechanic. Funds are just a little tight right now.

u need to fill the power trim resevoir all the way up and then bleed the air out of the system . dextron 3 automatic transmission fluid i believe.

How do you bleed the air out?

raise and lower the lower unit the full range of thavel a few times and see if this helps it . after doing this re check fluid level. theres an oring at the base where the power tilt fluid cover meets the base of the power tilt unit . sometimes they leak there.mind did
