Lenco trim tabs

[amber jj]

Out 2000 31TE is still on the hard after putting a fresh coat of bottom paint on her.The problem is when I detached the cylinders from the trim tabs to paint underneath them and went to reattach I needed to extend the cylinders a bit.They won't move..Power is on at the rocker switches but they won't move the tabs. Everything was fine when we hauled her for storage.I guess I will start with checking the connections at the junction box and go from there. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the lenco tabs and what they might have done to remedy the problem. I am assuming that they were installed when the boat was built so they are 18 years young.Thanks Bob

Got everything working today. Cleaned and recrimped connections. Cleaned up the plug on the rocker switch circuit board. Biggest problem was working through the inspection hole on the side of the shifter console in behind the shift linkage. Bob
