How do you test a power trim motor?

What is power trim on an outboard motor?

Most boats handle best when running parallel with their at-rest waterline.

Why won’t my boat motor trim up?

If the tilt and trim motor works fine but the engine won’t raise or lower, slips down when in the raised position or won’t stay trimmed, chances are that the problem is with the hydraulic pump or valve body assembly. If the level is adequate, the problem is most likely with the hydraulic pump.
