Title: motor getting stuck in up postion
Post by: aqua719 on June 16, 2010, 04:59:17 PM

the trim seems like it is sticking going up and getting stuck going down with out a little help ( leaning on it )
maybe low on fluid or needs to be replaced?

I have seen that caused simply by corrosion/lack of grease on the tilt tube.

going to start by cleaning it down, checking the fluid, lubing it up etc. hopefully that will solve the problem

If it's low on fluid the pump will sound like it is pumping pea gravel.
