I have a 1975 Sea Ray with a pre alpha outdrive I am having trouble with. When I try to raise the outdrive, it only comes up a quarter of the way. I disconnected the trim cylinders from the outdrive and put a rope beneath the trim cylinders to keep them level. When I press the two up buttons the rams start coming out then stop. I keep pressing the up buttons and hear a bang. The trim cylinder has broken at the aft end of the cylinder where the two hydraulic lines are and where the aft end of the cylinder screws on. This is the second one this has happened to. Getting expensive. Is there an adjustment that I am missing. Any help will be appreciated. Bill
