I have a 100ESL71C with power tilt. I made the mistake of trying to use it to trim my motor while pulling a tube, and I think I broke a seal or valve of some sort. It will tilt up slowly but creeps down fairly quickly. Is the problem likely with the manual release valve, or should I be checking something else? I can't find much info on power tilt for this particular motor. Was this not a standard feature at the time? I just got the boat, and it's the first motor I've had bigger than 10hp, so it's all been a learning experience for me.
