Hi,
I have a 1989 OMC 4.3 that I just bought. After I lift the boat, the unit slowly drops to vertical within a few hours. It seems to work quite well under normal operation, although it does seem to require a tweak up now on then.
I had a mechanic tell me I need a new trim pump (solely from my description), but it goes up-down just fine with no problem.
Could it be that the cylinders have seals that are leaking back into the reservoir?
TIA,
-geoooo
