Post Gator tail power trim
Probably time to replace it from what it is doing but trying to fix it rather than just replace it.

The power trim hums like it is working but the shaft doesn't move. While the engine is in gear or neutral running or not will still do it.

The funny part is it will do this for say 15 minutes or so then you get aggravated with it come back couple minutes later and works like a charm.

Any idea as to why it does this? And any ways to fix it with out replacing?

Sounds like it is low on fluid? Have you checked it?

Where can you actually check it? If you back out the allen screw that is on the starboard side back it will let oil out.
