3013 300x Trim problem

[fharrison]

I have been searching and can't find anyone that had a broken trim. My trim box is making a bad grinding noise and the trim is stuck all the way down. I am going to open the box up tomorrow but just checking to see if there is anything I will be able to fix when I open it up. Would appreciate any info from someone who had a similar issue.

slso, the trim box in the bow keeps coming loose. Anyone have a better way to mount it?

Thanks

likely has water in it. The speedo wheel cable rubs on the trim cable, causing a hole allowing water intrusion. Pay to check this while you're at it

Well, I opened up the trim box today and there was no water but the plastic gear case had shattered. Took it to my local shop and they said they have never heard of a trim gear problem. Just my luck. Apparently, you cannot buy parts of the trim system and have to buy the whole box. $750 for the box and components. Almost pays for the extended warranty.

I would like to buy your old trim box. If you cross the straps it will hold tighter.

Wow. A 1000 years later, and they are still having this problem.
