I recently bought a 1987 mark twain with a 3.0 mercruiser w/alpha one outdrive. It has power trim xp rams. when i put the outdrive in trailering position it leaks down within 2 hours. Small amount of fluid on the starboard ram. I clamped off the lines and it still leaked down so I was told it was the rams. Is there a better way of testing?

You can use a pressure guage but the best way is the way youve done. Isolate the problem, cap off the trim lines, if it leaks down its the cyl.s if it doesnt its the pump.
