So it will trim both drives when on the trailer ,and In the water but when under power it will not trim up past 2 marks . Now it has power all the time it tries to trim just seems like it doesn't have the pressure ? I have changed both pumps , lines , new cylinders when I changed the gimbles . Are there different pressure pumps , I took the pump off and took it to the boat shop and they " crossed " the number and the " new " one is different . So I looked it up online and it had a line that said something like for a 175-250hp ??? That's the reason I ask about pump pressures . Boat has No limiter switches . Works great on the trailer and at idle only under a load will it not trim more than a little .

Did the problem start suddenly, or after some work in that area?
I had the same issue after removing my pump once, turned out that I did not put the lines back in the original position at the pump. Swapped position of the lines and problem fixed.

Yes it started when I put new motors , drives, gimbles,trans in the boat . I have swaped the lines ,that feed the trim cyl system . I'm going to take it to a hydrolic shop Monday and have them check the pressure and flow .

called the pump company they said i have a low pressure pump ( this is the pump the boat shop crossed the number over and got so i bought 2 of them ) , high side is only 2500 psi , konrad said needs to be 3000 psi . so i talked to the pump co owner he said i can take them to a local hydrolic shop and they can adjust them to make 3k psi . AND YES you are correct there is a high side and low side . HIGH side will have inverted flare , low side is pipe thread .
i will keep you guys informed on the progress
