When I trim my motor down, a second after the motor hits the trim rods, a groaning noise is heard for a couple of seconds. This is a 2014 Yamaha 150 4-stroke. I have greased all the fittings I can find but done nothing else. Problem still present. I’ve linked a video of the motor making the sound; sometimes it is louder than what you hear in the video. Any suggestions? Any input appreciated.

My zuke does the same thing if I don’t keep them greased.

So just grease them externally/manually? I was thinking there might be a grease fitting to keep them lubed up, but I guess not. Might need my wife to do this one. Thanks for the help.

Just put a small dab of grease right On the very end of the trim rods.
Pay no attention to the red circle in this picture, only the Orange ones.
