"I have a Mercruiser 3.0, Alph
"I have a Mercruiser 3.0, Alpha 1 drive. The original problem started when we put the boat in the water, the trim just clicked when we tried to lower it. It would click in both the down and up position, I also noticed some oil in the water of the starboard side of the lower unit. I took the trim pump assembly out, had the pump tested and it worked both ways. So, I figured it was the selenoids. Replaced both selenoids. I re-installed the pump assembly. I went to bleed the system and it still clicks in both the down and up positions...any ideas?
To me it sounds like the pump is turning, but the pump adapter is not moving any fluid....can the pump adapter be faulty or a valve or something?
Any help is appreciated.
