Sounds like you lost pressure in your trim rams. Could be several things but if you see you are low on trim fluid you have a leak somewhere that needs to be found. If the leak happens to be where salt water could enter in you want to fix this sooner rather then later since the salt water can screw things up.

First thing I would do is check the fluid and it it's low fill it up and trim the engine up and down until you find the leak. If its leaking out of the rams your seals are likely shot or the ram itself could be corroded.

If you have any water in the ram fluid, make sure you swap out all the old fluid. You don't want any salt water in there or you are asking for more trouble.
