Hey all.
Came looking for some guideance. I replaced the trim motor on my 1991 150 gleis. Took it out yesterday for a test run(about 2hr) on the way back, it totally quit working, and i had to raise the motor be had so i could trailer the boat. Got to the parking lot and tried the trim again. I could hear the motor but it wasnt doing anything but a shooo now and then.(Like it was a surge with nothing). Got home removed entire trim assy and began removing the trim motor, oil sprayed everywhere (good thing?).
Now the question. I assume i had good pressure right? However, when i change the motor the first time there was no oil between the motor and the valve body. Should there be. I assume so because thee is a filter there.
Any ideas as to y i didnt have movement in the trim? Can valve bodies be rebuilt? or what do you think my problem is?

Low oil? Did it leak out while you were underway?
Manual release screw tight?

Refill and try again. Bleed properly.

Last thing I would look at is rebuilding the valve body, simply because it was working fine before.
