Outdrive slowly falls down

[ferrall]

1994 PMDA engine, SX outdrive. My outdrive keeps falling down little by little. Last season it seemed to stay up when it was brought all the way up but this year it slowly falls all the way down in a few days. Would this be the seals in my pump or the rams? Can I get a seal kit for the pump? Thanks!

How's your trim fluid level? Are there any leaks at the pump or trim cylinders?

Fluid level is good and no leaks anywhere

Here's the tilt/trim section of the service manual, including troubleshooting techniques.

Thanks for the info! Do you have any idea what the part number would be for an o-ring/rebuild kit for this thing or where I could find one?

You can go to the Volvo Penta store, find your engine, and look at exploded views to find the part numbers you'll need. You can then either order them there, or search the part numbers here at iBoats or google to find them.
