The other day I went out and looked over the boat to make sure it was making it through winter ok, I leaned against the out drive and felt it slowly move downward. I put the battery in the boat and trimmed it up a little, after I had the out drive up a little I pushed down on the lower unit and sure enough it would go down, it did take some decent force to move it down, but it probably shouldn't be moving at all, I tried the opposite and attempted to pick up the lower unit, sure enough it slowly moved up. Any clues where I should start in trouble shooting this issue.

Ayuh,....

It should be stored in the Down position, Not Up....

The problem, if there is 1, could be the seals in the rams, or the valving in the pump....
