Is there a way to manually life your outdrive? I have a 70's Merc with an inline 6 if thats helps. Zetman

Remove the most aft pin that holds the trim cylinders to the drive.

or crack the hydraulic lines and force the oil out of the system as you lift it.

I just wanted to know in case my outdrive won't lift to get on tralior or the battery went dead for emergency information. I hate not knowing what to do in these situations. I guess I need to know what an aft pin is too. Thanks Zetman
