Issues with outdrive falling Slowly after raising it up!

[Galaxytandy]

I have a 88 Galaxy Works 350 OMC! Just had the lines replaced because it leaked oil in the system making me unable to raise up the outdrive at the launch ramp while ago. I had a local shop replace the lines with all of the O rings! When I raise the outdrive up parked in my driveway! Within about two hours the drive comes down! Other than that it rises up and down no problem! Any ideas?

When the drive goes down stand on it to see if it goes all the way, if it seems to stop at a certain point when you stand on it one of the rams has an internal leak. If it goes all the way then either a line is leaking in the boat or the pump has a problem.

Thank you Kenny I'll try it this evening! I just had the lines on replaced! I see no leaks from anywhere! I'll double check thank you again

Run the drive up and down multiple times to help bleed the air out of the system
