| Post subject: | MB TRIM QUESTION? |
I have 35 MB on 1844 Gator Trax This weekend I noticed the trim making a grinding sound when trimming up or down. Is this something I should worry about or maybe just some sand making noise. Have any of you had any experience with this. I'm probably just being overly cautious but I would rather find out here than in the marsh. It's rather difficult to find a dealer in my area. The Gator Trax dealer is 3 hours away....so I don't want to take it unless it's something to worry about. Thanks in advance. |

I'd call the dealler and find out. It's free and don't take much time. |

Is your trim Hydraulic or Electric |

i think those are electric (actuators). had trouble with one on my 35 hyper, ended up buying a heavy duty trim tab actuator from Lenco and retrofitting it on. As far as i know she's still workin'. The fix ended up costing around $200.00. If you have access to a Donovan Marine catalog, you can get them there. |

The grinding is not a good sign. If the motor/actuator is less than a year old you can get it replaced under warranty- call your dealer. If not is about $230 for a new Thompson unit from MB. Install is pretty simple, shouldn't need to go back to the dealer if its that far away. I would get it checked on, call your dealer you bought it from. |
