have a 1997 mercury 150 xr6 outboard. Engine will tilt up but will not trim down. Made funny almost grinding sound when I first pushed the down button, went down about an inch then stopped. Now it does not make any sound and will not go down. Does anyone know where the manual release is? Also does anyone have any ideas what is wrong? thanks

Re: tilt trim

That motor should have two solenoids under the cowling. See if the down one (green wire) operates. Manual release is on transom clamp. back out large plastic screw. PTT Motors are available from ARCO.
