Trim Lifting Motor Very Slowly

[nmelche]

1987 SeaRay Sorrento. Trim works perfectly dropping the motor but is very slow to come back up. Currently have the outdrive off and the rams are still moving very slowly out. Disconnected the up lines and ran the pump. Hardly any fluid is coming out. Any ideas? The attached photo is what my pump looks like. Thanks!

Confirm you have good 12v while raising the motor.

Any issues I have had similar resulted in low fluid level so check it.Charlie

If this just started, its probably a pressure issue. Something inside the pump is not allowing the pressure to build correctly. Up should have more pressure then down

Ended up taking he whole pump apart yesterday and the fluid had some clumps in it in the reservoir. Cleaned everything out and it works much better now!

That's good news you found the problem, clumps are no good.
