Good day all !

Well its almost time to put the boat in the water for the season. I notice the last couple of times I took it out last year that when trimming it up or down ( whether under load or at the dock ) it made a clicking/popping noise. Has anyone had this happen to them. The boat is paired with a Vmax 150. I have checked the fluid level and its fine. I'm thinking it could be the Trim "cups" where the rams hit the underside of the engine, maybe slipping a bit.

Any incite on this would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers - Brandon

Same boat, same motor, same problem. I greased the trim rods and it went away. I bought MArine Grease at the hardware store. Cost like $6 bucks. Hope this helps.
