DF115 Power Tilt Trim Problem

[geoffa]

I have a 2001 DF115 and recently noticed that the power trim is getting slower raising and lowering the motor. Any ideas of what I should check?

Sounds like the power trim motor is starting to drag.

Thanks for the respnse. Does this mean I should consider replacing the motor? I suspect it will get worse with time. If I do need to replace the motor is this a difficult task? Thanks.

Yes I recommend changing the motor, it is not a major task. be sure to support the motor when changing though.
