Afternoon all
The Bennett trim tabs on my T37 appear to be misbehaving. There is a single power pack which drives both trim tabs and the engine lifter. The engine lifter is working correctly.
When you operate the starboard trim button, the starboard tab moves correctly, but very slowly. When you operate the port trim button, the starboard tab moves quickly - and the port tab does not move at all.
The chap from the local marine engineers appears to have no experience of trim tabs at all, from what he's saying. Anyone got any ideas? My uninformed guess is the solenoid/manifold that diverts the power pack output to each tab - but it would be good to hear from anyone with any similar experiences.
Cheers
