hello friends,

i am adding fluid to the trim tabs reservoir, then tested. the tabs are functional but tried when i tested the gearcase arm & noticed a smooth sound going up but going down is like the sound jim carrey makes in dumb & dumber in the van scene, not at all the sameas going up. any guesses why this is happening?

My SX drive does something similar. Nice smooth sound trimming up but trimming back down it makes a weird noise. Trim fluid is full and I think I have had the drive up and down plenty enough to have purged air from the system. It has done this ever since I bought the boat a couple years ago. Does not seem to affect the function of the drive trim and my boat has had so many other problems I have put off dealing with it but it would be nice to know what it is.

i have not checked my fluid level but you say your fluid is full.
it is hard to believe that it is normal.
