Tilt/trim problems!!!!!

[wijames]

I don't use tilt /trim much as I keep my toon in a high and dry but last week when I was doing the maintenance I went to check the hydraulic fluid I noticed that when I tried to tilt the motor up it when up fine for a few seconds and then started just going up in short spurts. I put it back down and it went fine but wouldn’t go back up. Any ideas about what it might be?

Did ya get to actually check the hyd fluid level? That would be the first place to start....

No, didn't have a big screw driver with me to release manual tilt. Going to try that this weekend. Do you know if I should be able to tilt that motor up manualy by myself?

Likely need a helper or at the least a spotter.... But yes you should be able to lift without issue as the T&T does not actually attach to the motor itself it only pushes against it.
