Subject: Re: Power Trim Problem?

Just an update. I did get my power trim back to working order. Honestly, I really didn't do anything to it or replace anything.

It seemed locked up and I knew elec power was getting to the hydraulic motor pump. So, I just opened the manual release by-pass screw valve and physically lifted the motor. Popped the hydraulic reservoir fill cap to check fluid, all looked good and full. Retighten all the screw caps and WALLA she worked!

Don't know much about hydraulics but it seemed as if it was air locked or something and just needed some movement of the motor physically to get it going again. Hopefully this fixed the issue and makes a guy wonder why in the hell did it happen in the first place?
