My '04 Mercury 60’s T&T works well till in shallow water and trimmed up for shallow running. Then the prop pushes it down.
Fluid is full.
Suggestions??
Maybe the o-rings on the piston are going. If they are, the oil will bypass

Did you notice a small oil slick around the motor while you were anchored or drifting? That could be a good indicator of a leak. It happened to me last year, every time I would stop to fish a spot there would be a small sheen and I could not figure out where it was coming from, turns out it was the T/T.
Not sure… ever looked.

its most likely either the manual release is leaking internally allowing pressure to bleed off, or the down pressure bypass is leaking internally.
