The manual Touch-Trim on my Evinrude 40 used to hold the motor in any possition it was placed in without being locked. Now when I lift the motor, it will slowly drift back down unless the lever is in the lock possition. When locked it stays solid. <br /><br />There is no test in the Evinrude Service manual that says how to test it or how it should behave. But it does say it's under a lot of pressure. I was wondering if the hydraulic pressure should make it rise when not locked.<br /><br />The Operation and Maintenance manual is not clear to me if it should move on it's own or strictly by manual force. It refers to tilting/trimming using thrust while in gear.<br /><br />Thanks!
