2001 225 3 ltr mercury
intermitantly,trim pump starts at a slow speed then picks up speed to normal, up or down, on all switches.. slow like a dead battery..or trying to pump against backpressure...after just a few revolutions,it picks up pace. thought i had a rough spot in pump it was stopping on sometimes causing a binding situation....replaced pump with no change. checked all electric connections..acted like it was fixed, worked for three days setting in the barn..got to the lake ..trimmed up to remove transom saver...started slow.
any suggestions..hydraulic, electrical or mechanical? pivot pin has been greased regularly and is not binding.:confused:

Mercury had a lot of problems with trim motors in 2001, I'd place my bet on the motor.
