I have a 1991 ( i think) title says 96, but I think its a 91. mercury force 120 outboard on Cobra Bass Ski. The down trim button stopped working. Up works fine. Although now the engine is all the way up, and I can't get it back down. I've found what i believe are the relay switches I want to take off and test and or replace, but I can't figure out how to lower the unit manually so I can even get to the relays.
The hydraulic cyclinder on the right side of the engine has a big plastic screw on it, after finding some info on the net, i tried to unscrew it to lower the unit, no go. the screw just comes off, can't push the engine down.
So, where is the dang release to manually lower the engine? If its on the right side of that cyclinder then its not allowing me to lower. the UP button on my throttle allows me to go UP, but of course its all the way up so it just makes the noise as if its going to far. (i only hit it for a split second to make sure its working.)
Here are some photos if it helps.
