I bought this boat last year. When the outdrives are in the full down position port outdrive sits higher than the starboard drive.
The rams on the port side are not all the way in, it looks like they have about 2 to 3 inches of travel to go. When it stop moving it come to a hard stop. What could be causing this. I have raised it up and lowered a bunch of times thinking there was air in the system.

thanks

Check to see if it has trim limit spacers inside the cylinder
Scratch that
See if the cylinder rod is longer than the out. Run trim full out and compare lengths

Also check for trim block
