Re: Alpha 1 wont trim all the way in
I have had this problem following changeout of the trim pump reservoir gasket. You simply have air in the system still, and not enough fluid in the reservoir. Keep adding fluid and trimming up and down. Your reservoir level should drop every time you trim it. After you have both sides of the rams full, and adequate level in the sump, it will work like a champ. Alternatively, you could disconnect the lines and prime them, but that's a several person job...
