Trim/Tilt problem under power
The trim works just fine when the boat is sitting at idle. When the boat is cruising under power, the trim is very sluggish. I've noticed I have to hold the switch down for a period of time and then the trim will raise. When doing so, I have noticed there is a slight change is engine rpm then the trim switch is pressed??
Fluid level is OK. No leaks that I see. Could the pump be bad? Bad switch on throttle? I just replaced the ground cable from the block to battery #1.
Boat has a 97 454 MAG MPI if that helps.
Thanks for the help!
