Hi, I remove my outdrive every winter because we experience severe cold conditions. My trim cylinders are always in the down position when outdrive removed by he time the winter is over they have elevated to the up position. Can this be prevented? i know it is not good to have chrome cylinder exposed. Sometimes one or the other ram is frozen and i have to jump on outdrive after they are reconnected to unlock them
thanks
