My motor will lock in operating position but im not able to lock it in the up position or tilt it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no manual for it.

Re: Johnson fd-20 tilt/trim problem

For unlocking it from the down position, there is a bent steel lever between the thumbscrews on the clamp bracket. Down is locked. Up is released....

There is no lock for he up position. However, under the nut on the cross bolt in the clamp bracket is a friction spring and if the motor tends to easily tilt down on its own, you can tighten that nut a bit to keep the motor tilted up. Not recommended for trailering like that, but it will hold if you are just beaching or want to keep the lower from getting algae build-up, etc.
