Once upon a time i had the same issue. Turned out that the hose to the port trim tab has come loose at the through hull and only the 5200 was holding it in place. I had a friend move the tabs and low and behold the hydraulic fluid spurted through the 5200.

Dug it all out reconnected the tab hose and refilled the reservoir. problem solved.

Lesson check both ends of the system.
