Hello GFC, man I'd love to be able to do that. Unfortunately, the power trim won't trim up at anything beyond idle speed. The trim motor makes a straining sound, as if it is trying to move an immovable force. I'm getting pretty good at guessing where to have the trim set before I take off. I lose the sweet spot every time I return to the dock and raise the motor out of the water. I've got a manual in route and have been reading up on power trim and tilt systems. Of the three parts, the electrical system seems fine. I get action whenever I took the trim buttons. By action I mean something happens. The trim works fine at idle speed and with the engine off. But even slightly beyond idle speed, nothing on the up trim except sound of the pump motor straining. These systems are not that complicated. It almost seems like either a check valve is stuck somewhere or the lift cylinder is faulty. The guy I bought it from said he just replaced the pump motor. I don't like just changing out parts so I figured maybe someone else had seen this before..?.?.
