I have a 1997 Force 75hp ELPT that won't stay trimmed at wot. It will plane out and I can trim into the sweet spot, but then it trims back down on its own and begins to bow plow. I will trim back up into the sweet spot at this keeps repeating. I thought this may be because of an air bubble so I drained the system, refilled, and bled.....problem still occurs.
The system only has one big ram that operated as both tilt/trim. There is/are no smaller trim ram(s). From the tear down diagrams this seems to be correct but a little confusing as the single large ram seems to have a hard time holding the trim at wot. There is no bleed down while on the trailer.
Could this be an air bubble in the ram? Is there suppose to be a lower trim limit set rod like in the no PT versions? There are holes for the rod as both versions use the same bracket. Just a little irritating as I'm trying to test a new prop since it was under proped for my setup when I bought it.
Anyone have any ideas or experience with these force outboard single ram tilt/trim models?
