Trim Issue

Hi everyone,

I’m having problems with my trim on my 200 Merc.
The trim pump works fine up and down, but if I leave the motor trimmed up overnight I can go back to it the next day and it be trimmed right back down again..... I’ve just replaced the hoses and bled the system and no leaks anywhere not even on the trim ram seals???
Any help to troubleshoot would be great!!

Cheers Jai

There is a manual screw to release the pressure if the hydraulics fail is that tight left hand side I think where the leg joins about transom height???
