Just found this site and it looks great! I hope to learn a lot here. <br /><br /> I have a 1995 bay-liner with a 3.0LX alpha one gen 2 drive. It has worked fine for a years (always trailered but used in salt water) and now this year the power trim does not want to go down? It goes up fine. The motor runs and the fluid is full but it creeps down VERY slowly. The trailer button was bypasses years ago so the throttle controls have the full range. Any ideas?<br /><br /> Next as I'm sure you know the gen 3 drives have a reservoir that fills the out-drive and it seems to be draining into the bilge? I can't see from where tho....? The hoses seems to be connected and not leaking.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />-Mike

Icant, I've heard a lot lately about the resevior leaks and most times it is the gasket for the tank cap either missing or worn.The res does pressurize .<br />Can't help with the trim
