    Yamaha 250 SHO trim issues.

    Any suggestions on what my problem may be. The motor won't stay trimmed up while under power (half throttle or more). While under power, I can turn my head and watch the hydraulic ram slowly lower, until it is all the way down. At idle speed, this does not happen. I checked the fluid level and it seems to be full.

    Thanks in advance.

    Check the trim release valve on the side of the engine mount. Make sure it is snug. If it is loose it wont hold the engine up.
