Well downshift, I am puzzled too.

I mean, if I close the bypass, I cannot budge the motor. Doesn't that imply that there is no air?

If I open the bypass, I can move it either way. Doesn't that imply that the fluid is transferring, going somewhere?

Yet when I run the trim motor, it doesn't actuate anything. It just runs.

I've really been trying to hit on someone who knows about this stuff before going deeper and causing myself extra work.

The bypass valve may be the problem. The bypass valve bypasses the pump impeller. It may not be opening properly to allow flow to the pump. I highly doubt there is air in the system because you have moved the motor up an down, which moves the fluid around and it's a self-bleeding system. Try fooling with the bypass valve a little bit.
