justin , check the bypass valve on the starboard sode of the engine to see if it maybe loosened up or maybe stripped out for some reason. i just had to replace mine and it is kind if pricey for a piece of plastic.

Mine is on nice and tight if that part is just bad will it cause this leak down? Do you have the part # by iney chance?

893929 merc part # also has 2 orings. do you have any oil leak in that area?. might be internally bypassing. i also had to change pump motors on mine but that didnt affect the leak down on mine. the valve assemlbly threads on mine was stripped

A internally scored tilt ram or debris in impact valve on tilt ram will make one creep down.....

Check the manual release first the you can check the cylinder. It will require a spanner wrench to remove end cap and you will need to remove pin that hold tilt ram in place.
