[QUOTE="thill, post: 502750, member: 4972"] Is it a power trim motor? Does the motor make popping sounds and/or jumps a bit when you raise and lower it? Like it's sticking? I had a motor that made those sounds, and the nuts on the ends of the steering tube, that the motor pivots on when going up and down, were crazy tight, and it needed lubrication. I loosened it, greased it up and tightened it back up to a reasonable degree, and the popping sounds went away. I've also had boats pop when the transom was not good, and it was coming apart. I recommend that you try to find it, maybe by listening closely while someone else is driving. [/QUOTE]
