I have the Volvo Penta 3.0 with the SX Drive and crappy designed Trim/Tilt motor-pump that is located on the stern by the lower unit. it was replaced just over a year ago. its been in the water once since then and has set on a local boat lot for sale. i recently picked up the boat and noticed that the lower half would not trim up or down. You can hear the motor engaging but no movement. i took the cover off to inspect the motor and notice it looked like a little water intrusion by the pinkish fluid build up. Upon removing the cover i pulled the hydraulic lines from it relieving pressure on the lower half. when i took the cover off not alot of fluid came out. I inspected the motor and reinstalled the cover thinking the fluid was just low. I went to my local walmart and purchased the tilt/trim hydraulic fluid (green) and topped off the unit from the fill plug. i left the plug off and attempted to trim but no movement. You can hear the motor kick on but nothing. Any other things that i can try short of spending a grand for another poor designed replacement? if the motor is bad can it be rebuilt?
