I have a 125 Force with twin piston tilt/trim and it creeps down almost immediately after I raise the motor.<br />Are the pistons bad or is it the valve body that needs replacing?

Probably just need a seal kit. Its leaking by the o-rings internally.

Need some viagra for that trim...LOL...before you do any wrenching, trim it up all the way and force it down rapidly...if anything is caught in the check valves, this might clear it....has worked for me numerous times...

Forces are bad about that. I would recommend a seal kit replacement but use an aftermarket brand to keep from having trouble in the future.
