Is the fluid level correct in it ?? Is the battery voltage correct ??

new battery .and i been adding fluid to it all day . can't get any more in it . think it has bad o rings

 

[boobie]

Did you add the fluid in the full tilt position. Then cycle it up and down 5 times ??

 

[flatboat fishing]

yes . i can pick the motor up and down by hand without breaking the release screw on the side . that can't be right???

Something is wrong if the release screw is fully seated and you can still move the lower unit up/down. Once that emergency release screw is fully seated, the engine should only tilt (move) as a result of the hydraulic pressure of the pump. Are you sure the screw is seated? Is the screw damaged at the tip?
