When operating either in the up or down direction, from either the helm or on board trim/tilt control switch, both the trim and tilt run normal for a few seconds then there is a change in the sound of the tilt/trim pump motor and the speed the outboard moves up or down slows down. When this happens the tilt/trim motor actually sounds like the motor is getting into a bind. If I cycle the switches a few times the problem stops. If I wait a few minutes it comes back. I lubricated the mechanical pivot shaft and thought that corrected the problem. Went to put boat in water yesterday and problem is still there. I have 2 independent batteries and the problem occurs with either battery and when both are connectebd in parallel for emergency operation. Also there are no obvious fluid leaks or rusted/damaged components. Has anyone experienced and corrected this problem?
