Default Trim / Tilt issue on Outboard

Trim/Tilt issue on a Suzuki DT200.

My motor has 3 hydraulic rams which pump both up & down.

There is a large centre ram for tilt, and a pair of smaller rams for
trim.
When you bring engine down from tilt ... it moves quick until it gets
to trim position (as it should) then the fine Trim rams take over ...
they should then go down evenly as a pair.
However one of them seems to 'stick', the other moves down but the
engine is kept up on the one sticking out ... and then after a few
seconds later it drops in 'down' to the position the working ram is
at.
The strange thing is if I just keep the engine in the trim range, then
both work perfectly either trimming out or in.

It only seems and issue when transitioning from Tilt to Trim.

I did call my dealer, he just said ... continue to use it and it may
well free up.

When you look the rams, when the working one lowers the one holding the
engine out seem to judder or flex slightly when it finally drops in one
go ... but that might just be the fact that it is holding up the whole
weight of the engine, and it is moving 50-75mm" in one go when it
drops rather than a smooth lower

All movement in or out in Trim range is silky smooth - so don't
suspect air in system or faulty hydraulic pump, and as such no problems
out on the water.

Anybody come across such an issue. ?
