Post subject: | GT Trim Problem |
Okay guys, ive got a question for yall. i have a 2004 GT 27 and the other day i took it to the river and it ran great and trim worked flawlessly. the next day i took the motor off the boat due to high water levels so i could put my outboard on. well after i took it off the boat and put it on the motor pallet i had built, i went to trim the motor down on the pallet and it wouldnt work? i know its not electrical due to the fact that when i would hit the trim button, the trim hydraulic would kick on and load up like its working but i got zero movement. same result for trimming up and down. sounds like its working and loading up but no actual result???? i looked and have no fluid leak or any sign of problem? im now lost at what to do or try, any suggestions? or solutions? anything at this point helps! thanks |

Purge out old hydraulic fluid and fill back up, could be low. Also must be mounted in the upright position to work. Laying on its side on a pallet it will not work. |

If it was working before u took it off, then I would say something got bumped in the process of the removal. Make sure connections are secure and have a good ground |

I had this exact same problem recently. As mentioned above I had to purge out the old oil and refill and it worked like a champ! Might have a small leak that you cant see. I noticed oil on the transom of my boat, but yet to find a leak on the ram anywhere. |

X2 on draining the oil and replacing it. If you can't move it by hand after draining the fuids, there is a purge screw on the back, take that out and that fluid should unlock the ram |
