Hello new to the boating life here. Bought a boat of craigslist about 5 months ago(1990 galaxy weekender with a volvo penta aq131c motor), Got a for a good deal figured would be something that i would try and if i did not end up liking i would sell it for a loss or maybe even brake even. Well i feel in love with the boat life and plan to purchase another boat after this season (upstate new york is where i live.)_Enough about me now were i need help.
My trim/out-drive will not raise up it will go down but not up.
Example I hear it making a noise when i press up the motor is making the noise from what i am assuming. On the side of the boat near the throttle is my control dial for the trim. She will stay at 37-38 fluctuate between those 2 numbers but if i put her down she would go down to 14ish but will not come back up until i raise her manually.
At the point when i put my boat on the trailer i had to raise so that it does not hit the concrete slab while i am pulling out of the water. I had a buddy of mine press the controls to raise it up and i lifted it manually. I could see the little gear on top of my out-drive spinning and the out-drive was going up a glacier pace. So i just lifted it up at which end the numbers stayed at 37-38 got it out of the water and then tied it to the boat with a rope securing it because after i would manual lift it would drop a bit so i did not trust to stay in place while i was driving home.
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for looking.
