Need help with Suzuki Tilt&trim

[LouSylvia]

Here we go guys, recently my 19' Hurricane deck boat with a 115 Suzuki has had a problem getting up on plane. I got to looking at the T & T and found that My system has one large piston in the middle and two smaller pistons, one to each side of the big one. I can raise and lower the motor but those two smaller pistons stay up and will not go down. Near as I can figure that is the trim portion and it is kicking the motor back which results in hard to plane problem. Am I on the right track and any suggestions to solve problem?<br /><br /> Thanks

I believe you are on the right track. I had the same situation. The motor would tilt up and down, but would not trim all the way down. This prevents you from getting up on plane. I took the ptt unit apart and cleaned up the check valves. It has worked fine ever since. I suspect that the "tilt lock" check valve was stuck shut. It was sticking when I first took it apart. Good luck!
