Default Need some Help with this One

when i put my motor in (150 merc) gear, it slams against the transom. i thought it was loose or the transom was failing, but thats not it. i can stop the problem by trimming the motor all the way up and back down before getting on plane, this seems to work. i'm leaning toward a leak in the trim system.

any thoughts?

When tilting up and down does it work well?? When up does it leak down slow??

When up and you lean on it does it go down?

Is the fluid full?

How about the trim bar underneath, did it rot and fall out?
