A couple of weeks ago, I cranked up the motor and was getting it ready for an outing. Went to tilt the motor up and nothing. No sound, no movement. Checked everything out and it's a bad pump. Getting power, but doing nothing. I turned the screw to release the tilt/trim and still could not raise the motor. I had to take the big pin out that goes through the center - main - piston in order to move the motor up to get the tilt/trim unit off. I've replaced the t/t motor and put the tilt/trim assembly back on. I'm trying to pump fluid in the reservoir, but I feel like every drop I pump in, comes right back out. Also, the motor is all the way up and resting on the "kick stand" and I can't get the piston out to connect it back to the motor. The main tilt piston seems to be stuck. I can put a screwdriver in it and turn it, but with the release screw turned out and a 16" screwdriver prying up on the piston and it will not pull out to connect back to the motor. I'm stuck!! Do I need to order the tools and take the piston out to see what's going on in there. Again, Motor is all the way up, T/T piston is all the way down.
