Hi guys, my first post here I usually do sleds, so if you have sled questions, I will be glad to help. Now my father in law has a pontoon boat and the 50 horse merc trim and tilt is stuck in the down position. I can hear the pump run but nothing happens, I can't lift it up manually or I would so I could take it to the shop. The level looked good, but I will check again. The motor has sat for a couple of years on the boat, inside storage, not heated. Any help would be appreciated. Thx

Make sure the fluid is topped up with fluid and then let the pump run to remove all the air out of the system. Worked on my Merc.
