will lifting motor manually hurt???

I am in the middle of removing the inside of my boat to fully replace the deck and carpet....but my motor is in the down position and I need to get my boat into the garage as it is too cold for the glue I will be using.I have all the electrical disconnected (and in quite a mess).....will it damage anything in the tilt/trim unit to lift the motor to the travel position manually? I wouldn't think so but better to ask than be lifting the motor for the rest of its life......
