Trim Tab Problem

[PGD]

Well they just stopped working, checked the oil - fine, checked the power to the unit mounted on the transom – fine – checked the switch – fine.

Check they weren’t seized – fine.

Any ideas why they don’t work.

Cheers

It could be the hydraulic pump not working. Is there a fuse in the unit - could be problems with that ?

Juice is there ok but all quiet other than that, was trying to listen for noises etc.,

Will take the box off the transom and pull it apart, looks quite simple with a couple of tabs on each side.

Internal fuse – I’ll check, wonder when they were fitting the new engine and doing the electrics it got popped ? Sounds plausible cos they didn’t work from refit day one, but did prior – with no book on the little chap this sounds good advice.

Cheers all.

Sounds like hydraulic valve stuck or broken.
