Any have any tips on getting the pastic tubing from the pump through the bildge to the motor area?? There's a stringer I can't seam to fish it thru?

I found them and they are tiny. I'm so glad you made that diagram showing 2. Luckily all it was was the wire. It got unplugged from the relay. All that bs for a wire. Oh well. I'm good to go at least.

Well good news and bad news the good news is I have the pump and tubing in and hooked up and the pump works the bad news is the plate doesn't move evenly and it'll only go about half way down I'm hoping it gets better over time and hoping part of it is the motor not running when I was trying to move it the motor would just stop at a certain point like it ran out of juice so I'm not sure what was going on there

wonder if it has a lot of air in the lines? May have to crack the fittings a bit at the ram to get the air out of the lines

Yea that was my thought too because it started moving as soon as I hit the button didn't seam like it had time to get air out I'm hoping over time it gets better but I finished it around 10 so didn't feel like messing with it anymore and had to put it up!

I believe they self bleed. I would guess if your ram was fully extended and full of air you would struggle though.

You could run the pump and give it a gentle push then a few cycles to purge the air.

Does the plate move freely with the actuator detached?

Could just be that the actuator is seizing up and needs a rebuild or replacement.

I don't think the Rams are fully extending and I haven't really messed with much just got it in hooked up made sure it moved the plate and put the boat up for the night as it was late but I'll try that this weekend when I'm messing with it
