I have twin KAD 42 A engines with DP-1 Sterndrives I noticed this weekend that after getting up and planning and trimming out to 3 on the VP trim meters the port trim after a minute or two would slip down to 2 then to 1 and so on. I would have to every few minutes trim back up to three. Any thoughts.

Scott is right but it is more then likely the Ram all it takes is a little pitting of the chrome and it will break the seals.
