Trim slow

[birdy3897]

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions to what causes my trim to go down slow but it goes up just great? I checked the fluid level and it is full. I guess I am asking what are the common remedies for slow trim? thanks

I greased them and nothing has changed. It sounds like it is getting about half the juice going down than going up.

I'm a newbie, so this may be silly. But I was told that a rebuild of the internal seals may help this situation.

Sorry, not familiar with Mercrusier. I'd suggest you check out eBay for a factory manual for your model. The manual will have a troubleshooting chart for your motor and outdrive. Hope this helps
