Just a small update
i bought a 1-1/4 crows foot. I was able to finagle a few turns I got it tighter than it was. It wasn’t really tight. I’ll give it a try this weekend and let you know if this fixed it.

Check to see if your tilt/trim fluid is full ... on my 2013 250HO, it's a black plastic cap right next to the starboard trim cylinder. Could be tight, I used a piece of cloth to wrap it and a pair of channel locks to loosen.
First tilt the motor all the way up. Loosen the cap and trim down slowly. Some fluid should start to bleed out pretty soon as you start to trim down. If it comes down a ways into the trim ram and no fluid leaks out, you should get some and fill up. To fill up, trim up all the way until the motor stops. Then use a syringe to pump in tilt/trim fluid till it start to flow out. This will be messy, so have towels at the ready. Once it starts to leak, replace cap. Clean up and run the motor up and down a few times to bleed the system.

Thanks for the info. Will do!
When you remove the cap make sure the O ring inside the cap is intact. Instead of making all that mess, trim the motor down onto a block of wood under the skeg. Loosen the manual release valve on the left side about 4 turns. Trim the motor up for a 5 count (motor shouldn't go up) and then down for a 5 count do this 5 times and then tighten the valve. Trim up and slowly open the cap, and check fluid level. You can use a zip tie to check the level.
Thank you!!
