Volvo Penta SX drive trim pump problem

[BartW]

Boat is on the trailer,
no problems during last use last week neither during take out the water
Yesterday discovered that Starboard leg was leaning on the trailer lights bar.
And some oil on the ground,
Triming leg up or down doesnt work anymore,
I can move the leg upward by hand,
so there is an oil leak somewhere on the pump outlets
The trimpump has lost all oil,
I din't want to disassemble anything yet as engine is still under warranty
Anybody ever had this problem /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
here is a drawing of the unit

Oil came out somewhere in the area of connection point A
none of the oil tubes is loose
hopefully the dealer can fix it next week

Can't offer any advice Bart, but thankfully being still under warranty, the pain shouldn't be too bad.

Are you still planning the trip into the Thames estuary?

Hope all goes well.

is the oil coming from a ram seal?

Nice that you remember /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
The trip to London was sceduled for last weekend, I had even booked a mooring place in a local maria, but the trip has been cancelled already a few weeks ago, due to some unexpected obligations,
But this trip still is on our whish list, if not this season, perhaps next year.
Last weekend is the first weekend sinds mai we were not out with the boat.
Today I will bring the boat to the VP dealer,
hopefully it is an easy fix /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

thanks for posting

I'm sure only a minor issue with the repair Bart, hope you manage to get a bit of cruising in this season (and report back), its mid winter here now and I need to see someone enjoying their boat!

Cheers
