I have been having some issues with the trim on my 2006 4 stroke 115 yamaha. The trim is real slow to start with bit once you move it up or down it seems to work ok, not perfect. Boggs down when trimming all the way down and sometimes as I first start trimming it up. Fluid level is fine as I checked and shop changed the fluid out.
I took it to the shop this week and they told me that without tearing into it, that there was no real good fix. They recommended that I use it until it quits completely and then buy a new assembly or either a refurbished one. After looking at the price of a new tilt/trim assembly, it broke my heart.
I have the boat at home and will try to post a video this weekend of how it’s acting. I am wondering if there is a good way to determine where to start if I were to decide to break this thing down.
Looking for any advice.
