Droupy Drives
I have the old style bravo-1 drives, 1988's, and the problem is when they sit for a period of time, overnigh say, the port drive won't stay trimmed up.
There are no visable leaks that I can see.
Can this be the trim pump going south?

There are some check valves in the trim pump too. The kit is available, but I've heard that it can be tricky to install.

What Cord said: And the kit comes with good instructions, so if you are patient and willing to follow the directions, I'm sure you can solve this problem at home with basic tools. --- Jer
