G'day,Just rebuilt my 3 ram TnT unit.Main ram was completely disassembled and serviced.Put it all back together,filled and bled system.Main ram works great up and down no leaks.Problem is both trim rams not moving now.Unit still off boat.Does it need load on them to move????I've seen them on YouTube move without load.
Both smaller trim rods were not touched during repair.

Yes they should operate with no load.
My (guess) is you have air in the system,Take the cap off were you put fluid in and push the two trim cylinders all the way down ,put cap back on and try it.
If it works you may have to bleed it again after install according to your manual.
