I have a 04 ranger 620 with a 225 evinrude on it and everytime I stop the motor slowly falls when I put it in the garage I put a block of wood under it cause if its not down it will be soon

Talked to the local dealership and they said it sounds like a valve or seal in the hydraulic system and to have them fix it would be $1200 bucks basically told me they would just be replacing the whole thing not fixing the seal or whatever is letting the motor lower

So does anyone in the twin cities are have a good place to get these rebuilt I cant believe it would be anywhere near 1200 to have someone replace the seals

There is a relief valve on there , make sure it is tight so it's not bleeding off air. Is there also a chance of low hydraulic fluid. Both would cause this and save money. The relief valve has a white cap I believe.

yea I put the motor on the stop checked the level and the fluid was to the top then loosened the manual relief screw 4 turns or so and ran the trim up for 20 seconds down 20 to get trapped air out tried that a couple times checked the level again still the same level to the top/coming out the top

that's when I called the dealer to see what they thought and they gave me the awesome news

I may give it another shot some guys on bbc forum say it can take a few tries to get it if there is air in it
