I recently purchased a used 2007 Four Winns and haven't had it in the water, Michigan! But have noticed that after 8-10 days of setting in my driveway the motor has slowly moved to the blacktop. It is a very gradual fall but it is moving non the less. Is this an easy fix, something I can adjust on the trim/motor or is this for the real mechanics?
It is a 2007 Four winns volvo penta 3.0
Thanks in advance for your help. I don't really want to have to put it in the shop before I get it in the water but.........
Everything is working on the boat and we have run it in the drive way in water. Can't wait to get it on the lake!

I went through the same thing. Its your trim-tilt pump. I guesss its possible to rebuild them, but I just bought a similar unit on line and replaced it. I did it with the boat in the water. Not difficult if you get the same unit.

Re: Volvo Penta inboard trim question?

What outdrive do you have? SX, or SX-A BIG difference in trim systems.
Have you checked for external leaks?
