Well. Good news! I launched yesterday and everything went perfect. Pods reset to straight position and tabs performed perfectly! Thanks againfrom the manual:
PROCEDURE FOR A STUCK TRIM TAB CONTROL VALVE
1. Determine the drive that is not responding to trim control.
2. Shut down the engine and turn the key switch off. Wait at least 30 seconds, if
possible.
3. Restart the engine. Confirm the trim tab fault has cleared.
4. If the trim tab fault did not clear, repeat the start/stop routine up to three times.
5. If the trim tab fault does not clear using the above procedure, then shift the transmission
into neutral, shut down the engine, turn the key switch off, and alternately push the
trim‑up and trim‑down manual‑override buttons to release the spool. Refer to the decal
on the manifold bracket or on the port‑side of the drive cover, if equipped, for additional
information.
It looks like you can push those buttons to manually operate the tabs without the engines running. Maybe a call to mercury to confirm....
