Trim Problems

[Mgb1974]

Hey guys first post and need some help.<br /><br />The trim motor was bad in my trim pump on my Bayliner with a OMC outdrive. I replaced the motor and it still didnt work. So I bought a used one in working order. Still didnt work.<br /><br />My problem is that the motor spins and spins but the outdrive does not move. Do I have alot of air in the system and need to bleed it somehow? Also I am not sure the hoses are in the correct spot, can this lead to a problem having them reversed?<br /><br />Thanks for any help<br /><br />Matt

Re: Trim Problems

Trim pumps are self bleeding, just by running up and down.<br />If all you have replaced is the motor, you could have a bad pump, or a cylinder could be bypassing internally.<br />Are you sure the reservoir is full of oil? If the hoses were hooked up backwards, up would be down and down up, but it would still work.

Re: Trim Problems

ok figured it out it was pretty dumb really. I had the pump mounted upside down. Works great on one more thing down on the boat to get it water ready!<br /><br />Matt
