Hi all,

Getting closer to the water ! Wednesday is a good tide and I only have 1 showstopper.

I took the cylinders off the mounts today to bleed and noticed that only 1 was working and doing the work for the other.

I undid the pipes from the cylinder and confirmed flow on activating the trim.

Bashed it a few times with a lump of wood but the piston seems jammed.

Having said that - the one that does work trims the leg but only very slowly so its not jammed solid.

Any ideas what could be the cause or is it a strip down ?Thanks.

ron.
