Last year, all of a sudden, my power trim started making a different sound. A definite louder, raspy sound, more so when going up. It still works fine, goes up/down at the same speed etc, just makes this louder sound. Last year after it started making the noise I changed the fluid, but no difference. When changing the fluid (I used my oil extractor to suck it out of the reservoir) I noticed it sucked up what looked like some gunk that had formed in the tank over the years. I have checked the power across both solenoids and made sure all the connection are tight, all that looks good. My next thing is to remove the pump and clean out the reservoir - I am thinking that "gunk" could be restricting the pump from picking up the fluid, just a guess though. Anyone have any advice?
