I just purchased my first boat and I am having trouble with my power tilt and trim. My boat is an ebbtide dynatrack 156 ss with a Nissan 70 HP NS70A motor on it (yes i know parts are virtually impossible to find). The motor itself is great. All it needed was a fuel pump that i can get from singapore and bam its running like a champ. The seller was upfront with me about issues with the PTT. I unscrewed the manual screw/filler plug and it was extremely low. I have filled it and the electric motor runs fine both up and down. I can hear it moving fluid and i removed the bottom plug and ran the trim to see it discharge fluid. I think i am not bleeding the rams correctly but i have tried both loosening the lines on the rams and the manual screw to remove the air. no matter what i do, i cannot get the hyds to hold the weight of the engine. i have been able to get it to lock in the down position but it leaks down if i manually lift it. Also, the rams are not moving when i run the PTT. If any of you have any knowledge i would be very grateful. Thank you for your time.
