I've searched the forum and haven't real found anything with my specific problem.
So when I trim up the motor won't move. Pump runs. If I lift it high enough manually the tilt cylinders will kick in and it will go all the way up fairly quick. But it will also leak down all the way to the trim cylinder in about 15seconds. Trim cylinder will very slowly leak down also. From the info I found I was thinking it was the pump itself. So I pulled the pump off. Pulled the snap rings out but can not get the little cylinders out of it to inspect the orings. I put a plug in the hole for the line and put air (about 130psi) to it and they won't come out. They move a little but that's it. Anyone have any other tricks of getting them out? Or I'm thinking maybe the orings are in fact still good and they are preventing them from coming out? Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

Read them, they cover a lot on the T@T
It sounds like your pump needs the shuttle valve seals replaced??? See pics, #3 shows the bad seal and the new one..
The pump itself: there's nothing in the pump that you can fix s try not to "fix" it.
