Trim leaking down

[96lt4c4]

I noticed this happing some last year before I stored the boat. With the trim all the way up, over a few days it will slowly start to come down. I pulled the boat out of storage and the lower unit was on the ground. I have no visual leaks and the reservoir is full. Where should I start looking?

Ayuh,... It could be the internal valving,+/ or seals inside the Rams,...
Or,..
It could be the internal valving inside the trim Pump....

The Rams may need Rebuilding, or the Pump may need Replacing...

on the bottom of my trim pump, there is a manifold with oil passages. these ports are sealed with o-rings. i have had to replace the o-rings over the years.

Re: Trim leaking down

The manual talks about a rebuild kit but I cant find one. Is there one available? The whole pump is expensive..
