    Tilt/Trim bleeding down??!?!? 96 Pro V 150

    Hi all, I have a 1996 Pro V150. Lately I have noticed that the motor wont stay up for a long time on its own. When I have it up for shallow water I can look back after 5 min. and it is back down. I do not see any leakage at the shaft seals. Also does it when in tilt mode. It doesn't drop quickly, but you can practically see it very slowly go down. Like I said i dont see fluid leakage at the shafts or anywhere else. I did notice a few small bubbles from the seal on the tilt shaft when the motor was up the other day. Is there a kit I could buy that has all the seals to reseal them up with? Or is this a major deal? I have bled it out once. The cylinder was full and I didnt have to add any fluid. Is it a big deal to re seal them? I'm an auto tech so I have the tools and the ability, but need opinions...Thanks in advance...

    I'd think you can do it if you have the tools. I also believe people on this board have purchased a kit, so try boats.net or your local dealer.
