Does the trim motor run when it won't trim down? If not then you may need to adjust the limit switch on it.

Looks like you have a stuck valve, I am not sure if you want to fix it since its a pain, please make sure you bleed the air out of the system, this can cause the issues you mentioned. I am not sure how you doing the bleeding, but the correct way is tilt the motor up and apply the manual (arm) lock to hold the motor upright, remove the filler plug and fill her up, tighten the screw and trim her up and down at lease 3 to 4 times, then check fluid level and top off if necessary. Stuck hydraulic valves are indicative of water contamination at some point or just plain worn out..
If this is critical and holding you up to get on the water I can loan you one my spare..

Mack-
Thanks for the offer but I think I am good for now. The trim fluid coming out was probably 50/50 oil/water so I am sure the valve is jammed up. As far as bleeding it, I did as you described, that's how I found the problem. If I stop right at the top I am fine, keep on going to fill the reservoir and that's when it gets stuck. I am hoping to take her out tonight, so we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck. -Svence
