trying to help a GF's son.
tilt/trim motor runs, does exert pressure when trimming down...will not trim up even when manually trying to help it go up. Worked last year.
I tried the bleeding ritual, as much as my back could tolerate. Also, trimming down the motor sounds normal. When trimming up however, it sounds like it gets "weaker" and multiple up/down tries results in the motor shutting off, then it resets. Internal limit switch?
Is it safe to say that the problem is in the trim cylinder seals?
and there is excessive play at the top of the motor's swivel bracket. That'd be the upper bearing , correct?
THAT looks like a major disassembly...?
