Default Re: mercury trim problem

Try opening the manual release valve, lifting the engine then closing the valve and letting it go back down. If that dosent work you might have to remove the trim motor and fill the cavity/pump area with fluid, then reinstall. I've encountered the same problem before, its as if the motor can't get a prime. It is a self bleeding system. Once you get it moving, trim up as far as it will go then add fluid. Continue this until you get the full range of motion.
Hope this helps, Jeff
