1 Trim tab down

[Reel Addiction]

I was on my boat today and only one trim tab was working. When I pressed the starboard button I could hear the trim pump when i pushed the button for the port side it would not do anything. Any ideas what to check for.

I just went through the same thing. Turned out to be some corrosion in the multi pin plug.

If they're Bennet's there a few troubleshooting guides on YT.

Here's one:

Did you pull the switch to see if it was corroded or possibly faulty?
Lenco has a great customer service group. They walked me through
a step by step. I posted a thread in the trim tabs portal.

I just had the same problem. All last year could hear the motor running but nothing out of the starboard side tab checked all the connections without luck. This winter I was ready to replace the actuator but decided to have a friend manually push down on the tab (it was stuck all the way up) as I used the control, miracle it started to work again. There was minor corrosion on the shaft, cleaned it up, coated it with grease and has been working for almost 6 weeks now without an issue.

Moral of the story, before you pull the boat or make yourself crazy like I did all last year try this, it can't hurt.
