Thanks for fixing the links. New to this and learn as I go.
I re-installed the power trim unit Thursday night and was up until about midnight purging the system so I could take it out Saturday morning. The trim issue all started when I wanted to take it out Christmas Eve and all I got was "Click" on the solenoid. Took the motor off the res and got it running again. Just a little rust film from a bad gasket.
After re-installing the motor I had no movement of the engine. Wonderful! So, I decided to pull the entire trim system, not bad at all, and rebuild. Found out that this system (Calco style motor and res) has a nylon sleeve that couples the armature shaft to the pump shaft. Appears that when I initially pulled the motor off the res the coupler came off the pump shaft, so no connection. I flushed all the lines and cylinders and added new fluid. Works like a charm now.
If anyone has an issue with this type of trim unit, don't give up too quick because the steps I took could get you up and running again for less than $25. I found a new place to order parts from that is only 2 day shipping time and have really good prices and service. L & M Marine just outside of Mobile, AL.
www.lmmarine.com Had everything I needed. Ordered Monday night and had it Thursday.
I'm working on another post of my finds at Tahoe boats in Manor, TX over New Years weekend. Quite a selection of Glastrons on the property. Just need to shrink the photos down to post.
