hydraulic ram

[Biergarden]

What parts of the hydraulic rams, on a volvo DP, are responsible for allowing the outdrive to fall to the drive position over the course of a few day? Also is it something that will get worse over time?

If it's the rams fault, it would be the piston seal inside the ram.
Never seen one fail though. It's always the pump causing the problem.

Thanks Don, always. Someplace here mentioned the rams. But, like you said, I'm betting on the pump for a couple of reasons.
