I had an electrical problem with the trim motor on a Mercruiser 228 (1982). Got the electrical problem fixed (bad wire connection from armature to commutator) and reinstalled motor in the pump, and the system back in the boat. Now the motor runs fine but it sounds like the motor is not engaged with the hydraulic pump? Could there simply be air in the system, or is there some trick to engaging the motor back into the hydraulic pump? I have not had the bottom (pump) apart on this system.
Thanks for any help!
