tech help needed - drive won't trim up when cruising
Anybody know why a Bravo 1 will not trim up while running say 50 mph? When the boat slows down to 15 mph or idling in neutral, the drive trims up ok. My tech hasn't looked at it yet - I just wanted to see if the board can help.

had the same problem once
1-check trim oil if missing :
check hoses
trim cylinder hose ends
oil seperator below the upper unit
2-if you add trim oil be sure you add the right one
3-trim cylinders may be down
my problem was : hoses
hope this helps

hoses are backwards the trim pump has 2500psi of lift and 500psi of drop. try switching the lines at th pump if they are backwards it will trim fine untill it gets on plane. good luck

yep
Hey guys the boat is a complete re-rig. We're checking the hoses tomorrow. That makes sense and I bet that's the problem. What would we do without OSO? Thanks to all.................BH
