Trigger, If you tell us which motor and year, we can help. Some T/T had two solenoids, some one. Some have three rams, some two.

We can't check it because we can not get it raised up enough. We are assuming it does. You can't hear the motor running on it at all. Just the clicking sound when you try to raise or lower it.

I can't help you with your model compared to mine, but mine leaks, and when the motor just humms, I know it's out of fluid.

Can you raise it manually?

Yours should have the integrated power trim in the mounting bracket. There should be 1 or 2 sylinoids (Spelling??) under the cowling and the pump is between the transom mounting bracket and the motor's mid section.

Hope this helps some.

We have not tried to raise it because I can't do it alone and hubby will be home SAT. and craig yes we know what and where everything is...do you know where the bypass screw is to raise the motor manually so we can get in there and check the trim motor. I appreicate ya'll trying to help us with this, since I am typing this for my husband while is on the road working. Look forward to hearing from you soon. You can email me at trigger@megagate.com. Thanks

Yes, it's on the drivers side near the bottom of the transom mount. Looks like a plastic screw. turn it slowly counter clockwise.

When you lift it, I have found it easiest to lift from the prop. Good Luck!
