Trim Cylinder Shock Piston Test
If all previous trim system test results meet specifications, but sterndrive unit will not
trim IN/DOWN, the problem may be a leaky trim cylinder shock piston. Use the follow-
ing test to check for this condition. No test gauge required.
1. Run the pump in the OUT/UP direction until the trim cylinders are fully extended.
2. Use a suitable devise to keep trim cylinder piston rods from retracting. The Quicksilver
Trailering Kit works well for this purpose.
