    Johnson 200 GT power trim drifting down on it own

    My bass boat has a 1989 Johnson GT 200 motor .if I trim it up, it immediately drifts down. It will go all the way down on its own within a couple minutes. Does anyone know what this could be? The trim motor sounds good. The motor just won't stay up on its own.

    I just bought this 2009 Crownline with 2007 4.3 TKS Mercruiser. Can someone explain how to adjust the idle? It runs excellent however after the engine is warmed up, it idles at 800 rpm.
