I have a 2005 32 ft Open and not sure how to tell if I have hydraulic or electric trim tabs? Looked for a hydraulic reservoir under the fishbox in the stern but did not see anything? Also my Port trim tab seems to operate slower than my Starboard side?? Thx for any thoughts or suggestions

I have a 2003 38 Open and they are hydraulic..I assume your system is similar to mine and can be checked by lifting the rear fish well and mounted to the transom you should see a hydraulic pump/motor with hydraulic lines going to the port & starboard trim tabs .

Look at the transom and see if there are wires or the lines. If hyd, follow them from there and they will lead you to the pump.
