Tohatsu 90 tldi

I have a 2008 tohatsu 90 tldi. When I try to put the engine fully down on the trim for the first time after a couple of days of not using the engine it takes about 8 -10 attempts to lower the second ram after it has gone down it goes up and down as many times as I want with no problems. There is no signs of hydraulic leaks any ideas would be appreciated

Sounds like air in the system. Check oil levels.

Also check the manual release valve is tight

If it is low fluid - Tohatsu recommend Mobil ATF 220.

Thanks for your suggestions how do I check to see if the levels are low is their a window or dip stick that I can look at bearing in mind it is kept on a swinging mooring
