I bought my boat at auction and the tim tabs did not work. I checked the fluid and it was out so added fluid but they still do not work. The motor runs but the trim tabs do not move down, if I push the button for the tabs to come up the motor slows under pressure. Do I need to bleed the lines ? I see the fittings and lines in the stern compartment, do I loosen the fittings and run the pump to get the air out of the lines? Will this take care of my problem?
 
First question is are they Bennetts?

If so, they are self bleeding, by that I mean you don't have to disconnect anything.

Figure out which model you have and check their website or call them, their support is great.
