I have what I believe is a 1982 Johnson 115 V4, though it could be an 81. Model#J115TLCSA, serial #J5333665. The power trim has become sluggish the past few years. It moves up and down very slowly. Much slower than it used to. I checked the hydraulic fluid and it was a little low. I added fluid and tried to purge air from the system with no change. I'm not sure if I purged air from the system correctly though. I did notice that a small amount of fluid is leaking around the right cylinder shaft. I do have good power from the battery. The motor will slowly drift down on its own also. It just seems like the trim has very little power anymore whether going up or down. Any suggestions? Thank you.
