Got my Force 125 (1258x5a) used. Trim would slowly sag in the water and need to be adjusted maybe once every 5 minutes or so. I checked fluid, it was low. I purchased Pennzoil Marine Power trim and Tilt Fluid and put maybe 1 1/2 ounces in. Worked for a while. Then I added a little bit more. Now the motor drops pretty quickly, maybe in a minute or so I need to readjust the trim. Can I safely run a little thicker viscosty fluid and get me back to my original formula that was working better when I purcahsed the boat. If I can use something thicker, what exactly can I use? Thanks, Eric
