I am having problems with my power trim when i bought the boat i was told the trim didn't work at all, a couple of minutes and a couple relays later we have movement. But it will not stay up, it goes back down slower sometimes but for the most part it moves rather quickly. Just some info you can move it up and down with switch.

the motor is a 88 mer 125 force.

1.I have already used soap to check for leaks everything came out good.
2.Is there a curtain type of hydro fluid for the pump?

the trim pump on my mercury has a sticker on the side that calls for 10w30 oil....fill the hole with the trim up, cycle it up and down, then check the fluid again....may take a few cycles to bleed all the air out, if thats the problem...

Check the manual release valve. Someone may have loosened it when they were having problems.
