Hope someone can help. Motor runs good and when you push the button to trim up it sounds fine but just wont go up. First the obovious it is not out of oil. Also not to knowledgeable on boat lingo.

Re: 1994 Merc 40hp wont trim up

Hi, check this for the trim that doesn't hold or lift the motor: <br />on mine (1993 Merc 60hp - single ram), i fix it by changing the 3 o-rings of the relief valve. Cost:less than 1$. <br />For this you'll need to remove it completely (just 2 pins with crosspins). After changing the o-rings, refill it with ATF (automotive transmission fluid) and reinstall the unit on the bracket. <br />It's called a self-bleedind system, so you'll just need to cycle the motor two or three time up and down, lock it in the up position and unscrew the fill plug, the air trapped inside will go out.<br /><br />Hope it could help
