Default tilt/trim problem
When moving the tilt/trim mainly down it bounces until it get down to the trim area. Does anyone know what would be causing this?

If it's during acceleration, u should be trimming up.. should be trimming down on deceleration. if not that check your transom and fasteners..

I would bleed the system down. Sounds like air in the system.
