Hydraulic ram not lifting fully.?

[Stormchild]

This one is a new one on me. went out for a spot of fishing on 22/12. Not problems. On recovery the outboard would only lift about 60% before the hydraulic ram cut out. It will lower fully, the trim & tilt operates normally, but again when lifted it will only come bak up to the same point.

Any one had this before? / Got any suggestions?

Thanks

Check that the black plastic trim adjuster on the tilt tube hasn't been moved by mistake.

...and check the fluid level

Yep, as David said, fluid level is the classic one.
