I have a 2006 200hp Optimax. When putting into reverse with a decent
rpms when docking the motor rises out of the water. Also notice motor is
not quite fully raising all the way up so tilt lever can be engaged.

Re: Mercury Reverse Problems

Ok well I'm assuming you have power tilt trim. I can also assume that your power trim tilt is not trimming all the way up or down. I would assume that you have a hydraulics problem or a rotted or cracked bolt that keeps the motor from jumping up when going into reverse.
