No issues whatsoever (thank God) however I do notice when trimming way up for fishing shallow and then going to put it back down again before taking off, sometimes it gets stuck or I need to trim down up and then down to get it going. Almost a little bit of grinding or more noise than normal. Is there some sort of lubrication points I need to address with anything? Do I 'grease' or 'oil' anything? Engine again is a 2007 Mercury Optimax 90HP on a Bass Tracker PT 190TX. Thanks for your insight!
