For proper trim tab operation is it required the engine be running ?
I wanted to start off from my slip today with the trim tabs in the fully up position. I operated them after turning on the 12v breaker and they seemed to operate and then mysteriously stopped operating. I messed about some and decided they were not operating at all. I then thought that they must require the engine to be running to maybe get some hydraulic pressure to the trim tab cylinders. Well, running the engine certainly allowed me to operate the trim tabs. 🙂
Will the trim tabs operate at all without the engine running ?
