Seems my motor is very slow to trim while running. I thought it might be low battery but that isn't the problem. It works a lil faster when out of water, but it is almost a manual thing for me when I am running it in water. Thanks for any help.

How old is it? MB had some trim problems in the past but they changed to a better trim unit. Which brand trim do you have?

sounds like it might be going out. what kind is it? i had to replace my bear unit with the thompson unit. it should say on it somewhere. now they have the new merc trim that seems to be the best way to go if replacing. but it's damn high.

It is an 06, but doesn't have a whole lot of hour on it. I am afraid I am gonna have to get the new mercury one they offer. Is it hard to install?

You will need a way to seperate the motor/belt housing unit from the transom/T&T unit. Requires a block and tackle or a motor puller to seperate the two. The Mercury T&T/transom unit is a complete part and is very heavy duty. Not just the actuator and hyd pump. If you look on the Mud buddy site you will see the complete unit you are purchasing.

FYI...the thompson i bought was $250-$300. i think the merc is $750.

Thanks yall!
