I posted recently about an issue I am having with my power trim pump where sometimes when it is trimmed part way up it will refuse to go up any farther. It will go down and I have to trim it all the way down before it will go up again. Sometimes it goes back up right away, other times I have had to repeatedly hit the down button while the pump is already bottomed out. it will make a squealing sound of sorts when I do this, I never hold the button down for more than maybe a second when doing it for fear of damaging the pump.I doubt this is good for the pump but don't know too much about how the system works. when I am having this issue I get zero noise from The pump or motor when trying to trim it up, not even a Click, I have had people suggest that the fluid may be low or contaminated but at least one person thought it sounded like a cracked cylinder. I have not had a chance to check the fluid yet, I I am just curious as to how I can accurately determine whether or not the cylinder is cracked. also if this is the case what does it mean for my pump? Is this something that can be replaced or rebuilt or am I looking at a whole new unit? Thanks in advance for any help james
