FYI
It seems the latest popular item to steal off of boats in our area ,South West Michigan is the hydraulic unit for your trim tabs.I was talking to one of the guys in our marina last Sunday and he told me of his first adventure of the fishing season was to have his 28' Chris craft not respond to his trimming switch.Upon further investigation he was bummed to find that someone had taken his hydraulic unit .Then after some of the other guys heard of his story they of course stuck their noses into their bilge to find out that theirs was removed also! Four so far in our marina have discovered this so far.It seems that when their boats were hauled last year and setting waiting for the shrink wrap that someone grabbed their units.(no pun intended).They all said nothing else was taken and most of these fellows have big bucks invested in other gear that was also in their hold.The local detective says that all up and down the lake shore people are reporting these missing.It seems that some guys use these same units on their fancy hopping cars. My unit was still intact thank God .These things cost on average 300.00 bucks and that isn't even your insurance deductible.So if you are planning on going out for the first time this year check your trim tab unit! I guess I'll have to install a lock on my rear deck hatch!

I dont have a hopping car,none of my buddys have them infact Ive never seen one around my hood maby this is what its gona take to shut the border off to undesirables or what do they call them undocumented. Naw it dosent effect the right people. If law makers are getting stuff like this stolen then maby it would slow down the flood a bit

are you kidding me if it will lift or trim a 40 foot SeaRay I believe it would make some guys 66 pontiac jump or hop like a mad rabbit!

But do these despicable SOBs know that?

I would say "yes" for sure, If it is kids, they are anything but stupid, I just think there might be some jumping to conclusions here on who the culprit might be but if correct I still don't know what they want them for, they would laugh at are little hydraulic trim pumps for anything other than mini truck bed lifters or as I already said, power hoods or trunks but I haven't seen much of that. Hopefully we can find out. I hate thieves.

Could they be using them to raise/lower the shocks...have air shocks gotten a different twist?
Our pumps move fluid way too slow to make a car "jump." Although I believe that they can easily lift a suspension system.
