Power Trim Issue

While at the lake I busted the up hose on the starboard side power trim cylinder. Got the motor strapped up and headed home. I replaced the hose, got what seems like all of the air out because when I bleed the lines, nice pure fluid comes out of both the up hoses and down hoses. The trim will raise just fine but when I lower it, it will go down about half way and just about stop.

What do you think???
 
cylinders are self bleeding so just operate the trim a few times in and out. Other than that you bent the rod when you busted the hose

That's what I thought too but while trying to bleed down the cylinder, they go all the way down with no problem. I will try fiddling with the trim up and down more. Thanks for the reply
 
UPDATE:


I've bled down the cylinders to where the cylinders are all the way collapsed and then tightened all connections and out in fresh oil. Outdrive will raise just fine but still only go about 70% down before stopping. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
