"I have a 2006 Merc 90 O/B. It's been great until this spring. The power trim only lifts the motor 1/2 way. The trim motor runs fine and doesn't appear to bog down it's just that it won't lift the motor any further than 1/2 way.
I manually lifted the motor, drained the fluid which appeared ok, (not cloudy) and refilled. I then repeatedly lifted the motor manually and lowered under power several times to try to get any air out of the system. No change.. Once it reaches the 1/2 way point the lifting just slows and stops but the pump still runs and sounds fine. When I lift it further by hand and release it, it drifts back to the 1/2 way point. Any additional troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated."
