1- Last year I noticed I was loosing power trim fluid. The rams were leaking....so I rebuilt no more leak. I'm still loosing oil though. I can hear the oil squriting from the inside where the hose goes toward the transome. I can't actually see the hose connection to verify since the :mad: engine is in the way. How can I get to hose connection on the on the inside of transom without pulling engine?

2- The drive shakes/wobbles (left to right) slightly when continuously turning the wheel in ether direction from lock to lock or anywhere in between. What is causing the shakes. Fluid is full.

3- There is an INTERMITTENT SOFT knock. Not a lifter/head taping. It's a lower toned knock that is intermittent at idle (800-1300 rpm). Every few seconds I hear a knock...sometimes 3 o 4 knocks in a row. What could be causing this...old GAS?? been sitting for 8 months.

thanks....
