Looks like you have a stuck valve, I am not sure if you want to fix it since its a pain, please make sure you bleed the air out of the system, this can cause the issues you mentioned. I am not sure how you doing the bleeding, but the correct way is tilt the motor up and apply the manual (arm) lock to hold the motor upright, remove the filler plug and fill her up, tighten the screw and trim her up and down at lease 3 to 4 times, then check fluid level and top off if necessary. Stuck hydraulic valves are indicative of water contamination at some point or just plain worn out..
If this is critical and holding you up to get on the water I can loan you one my spare..
