Just ran the new (to me) 18 2+3 the last couple weekends - thanks to Jason, Rick and the team at Performance Marine! The previous owner installed power trim - however under power the unit does not trim up/out (down is fine and tilt is fine). Checked fluid level and the high power line is to the up/out side of the trim wings - any ideas about what to check next?:confused:

Can't help with your issue, but I was admiring your boat at Performance Marine a while back. Mine is there right now getting some mods and upgrades before the dust-off. You should consider coming to the dust-off. Check the info on the events section. very fun and way cool boats.

Is the trim motor running when you try to trim? If so your pump is bad. I replaced mine with a Mercruiser pump. They are a whole lot cheaper and easier to find.

I have a couple extra used volvo trim pumps sitting in a box at Performance if it turns out your pump is bad.

If you can find a original replacement that don't cost a arm and a leg I would go for it.:)
