    I could let you know which hoses go to what trim pump ports, but I don't know which is the up and down hoses since I simply kept the same routing when I did a changeover on my Donzi. If this would help you, let me know. I had some major dental surgery yesterday, so it might be tomorrow before I could get out in the heat (110) to check for you. Bill

    Is this all the information you need? If not, I will still check the hose routing. Bill

    Most of the swelling has gone down, but having my two lower back molars removed and bone inserted in the sockets in preparation for implants is not a pleasant experience. My wife told me last night how goofy I was after the 3 hour surgery that should have taken only half the time (complications with one of the extractions). Apparently the Halcion made me a comedian - lol. If you end up needing the hose routing afterall, just let me know. Bill

    another question. The trim is working but I think the ears are binding up. the drive doesn't move smoothly in either direction and it makes like a racheting noise as it moves? any ideas?? not sure when the last time the ears moved could be years in a salt water environment.

    If you can get someone to raise and lower the outdrive when you are listening at various points with a stethoscope, you can probably pinpoint the exact place where it is binding. My guess would be the pivot points, but it actually could be the ram seals themselves. Please report what you eventually discover. Bill

    fixx

    remove the pins going to the trim rams,try lifting the drive by hand,it its easy then the rams are most likely a bit seized..try pb blaster,,coat everything,,this stuff may loosen it up.

    Your 280T looks like this setup on my Donzi - correct? Bill

    yes Bill same setup.

    freshly painted and was taken to the bare alum then primed and painted. We thought we might have painted something we shouldn't have. The drive when dis-engaged from the lock pin/ trim ears can be easily raised and lowered by hand with no noise or binding. The noise is definetly coming from the ear housing or the rams. we did extend the rams and tried to grease them then retract them . that seemed to soften the noise , I'll try spraying Kroil on everything and see what happens thanks guys! I'll keep you posted.

    I wanted to make sure we had the same trim setup is why I asked. You already knew how easy it was to test the drive pivot pins by releasing the reverse catch. Isn't it sort of interesting how they designed the reverse catch to release if the drive hits something hard enough? I digress - lol.
    My drive trim also make a little noise, but only when it is nearly at the top of the trimming so I would also like to find the culprit. Bill

    I'm guessing the rams are the issue. I ended up buying two 280T transom assemblies to salvage the best workable parts. I had one ram that seemed to vibrate or bind a bit, but swapped it out. If they can get them apart most hydraulic firms could rebuild them.
