Then you have a short in your wiring. You have to test until you find out where that short is located.

Then you have to open the manual release valve so that you can tilt it.

If you open the release valve to drop the outboard, do so very slowly...as I recall it doesn't take much for it to come down quickly.....kinda like what happens with a hydraulic jack that is under pressure....
