Hello, I am new to this forum so please excuse any mistakes. I have a 03 Yamaha 90hp 2-stroke. I have been doing some work on my trailer lately and have had the motor in the full tilt position. I have been noticing the motor is halfway down the next day. The power trim is not holding the motor at full tilt obviously. Any advice on what to do? Also when I checked the PTT fluid while the motor was at full tilt, it came gushing out. My service manual says the fluid level should be just level where the plug comes out, while the motor is at full tilt. If that's the case it should not have poured out. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Power Trim Question

did you have the motor resting on it's built in motor rests? it you didn't then there is pressure on trim pump(hydraulic) and of course the fluid will
come out if opened...rest the engine on it's rests.
