First trip to the lake was a bust! Kids and wife not happy. I have an 89 Bayliner Capri 2150 with a 5.8L Cobra OMC and OMC stock outdrive.<br />When I hit the trim button, the drive motor ran but the unit itself didn't move. Tried the up button than down again but nothing. Even had my foot on the drive while down button was pushed but nada.<br />We are all majorly bummed. Here comes cha-ching at the shop. Anyone have any ideas on this, or had similar problem?

Have you checked the fluid in the system.If the pump is running maybe it has no fluid to pump.

ditto...the reservoir will be it's "emptiest" when the drive is up...
