trim tabs not working

Post by Jelem 2000 »

My Albin 28 TE 2000 has been in storage for 2 years.
My trim tabs are not working anymore.
I can hear the motors when I press the switches.
I was told that they probably need more hydrolic fluid but I dont know where to add the fluids.

Any suggestions?

Assuming you have Bennett, and not Lenco, trim tabs, there is likely a reservoir/pump assembly attached to the interior of your transom. You can follow the black plastic lines from either of your tabs to find it. You take off the lexan cover and top it off with Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).

Here's a link to Bennett's site: http://www.bennetttrimtabs.com/trimtabtips.php
