Boat not trimming in higher speeds

[Kylepayne86]

Got my boat on the water today and I gave it throttle to get on plane. When I tried to trim out, it would not do it. I tried for a few minutes and could not get it to trim out. So I throttled down to a slow speed and attempted to trim and it worked. It would trim all the way out of the water. It was very aggravating. I didn't let it get me down though, my wife and I still fished (with no luck there either) we just cruised slowly lol. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice or pointers. I may be doing something wrong. This is my first boat and I hope I'm just making a rookie mistake.

By the way, it's a 1988 140 Evinrude on a 1995 Baymaster 1850 tunnel hull boat.

Check the fluid level in it which is done in the full tilt position.

Low fluid would cause it to not trim out on higher speeds? It works perfectly fine in slow speeds.

When you have any T/T probs the first place you start is to check the oil level.

I found the problem. It was a rookie mistake. I left the bar in the adjustment holes in the far back hole. Right at the end of the trim cylinder rod so it was trying to tilt.
