Trim ram no longer fully extends
Had a weird problem pop up last Wednesday morning on the way to the Shootout. Last Monday, I pulled the boat off the lift and put it on the trailer. Trailered the drive and put the trailering clips on and headed home. I always lower the drive whenever the boat is not in transit so after backing it into my driveway I took the clips off and lowered the drive down. Wednesday morning I'm preping the boat to travel to LOTO and I trailer the drive and go to install the trailering clips and I cannot get the clip on the starboard ram. Port clip goes on no problem. WTF. Mess around with it for a bit and notice that at the last inch or so of upward travel the starboard trim ram stops extending. The port ram then cocks the whole works over as it contines to extend normally. Anyone ever ran into this problem before? Trim pump is full of fluid and there are no signs of leaking around the ram or the lines. If the ram is bad, do you rebuild them or replace them? Thanks in advance.
