You can try taking the spring loaded actuators apart on the trim rams. Clean them really good, some WD40, work them back and forth. Wd40 again. On my old boat, i added springs to the cables behind the indicator panel. Helped buy me some time. Forget where i got the springs. I think they were like carb return springs...
