after I put tilt all the way up, in about a weeks time the tilt is all the way down. Is the tilt suppose to leak off like this , or do I have a problem, and what could cause this??

Re: question about tilt

nope, not supposed to do that. yer leakin somewhere. follow all the hydrolic lines and look at ea. connection for a leak. could be the trim cyls. are leaking internalally too.

when ya store yer boat. ya should leave the drive down........though in this case, it seems that having it up may have put ya onto a problem before it gets worse....

Re: question about tilt

"Pink" lube is ATF & Water mixture.
That would indicate to me a problem with the seals leaking on the trim cylinders allowing water into the system.
