Late 70s Evinrude Will not trim up while moving, it used to but now it wont. Must stop trim up and take off and then it will trim back down on demand. Can you help?<br /> :eek:

Re: Tilt and Trim

Hey Bubbacharlie...welcome!<br /><br />Have you checked the reservoir level? It's a large screw on the reservoir. Tilt the engine all the way up and screw out the plug. Dump in enough fluid so it's even with the bottom of the plug hole. Put the plug back in (losely) and cycle the engine up and down 2-3 times and recheck....always with the engine all the way up. Add fluid if needed and repeat the cycle. Do this until the level is always even with the bottom of the plug hole.<br /><br />Let us know what you find....thanks!
