Re: hydraulic trim tab bleeding....

Run the trim tabs fully up & down a few times to bleed them. To check to see if you have a slow leak, run both trim tabs fully down and leave them there overnight. If a tab is partially or fully retracted in the morning, then there is a leak in the hydraulics of the retracted tab.
