I have a 2000 Johnson 50 Hp. It sat for 6 mo. now the trim motor works but the engine won't go up or down. I have opened the filler cap to ad trans fluid. straw berry foam came out I drained as much as I could I refilled. still won't move.

Is the t/t mtr spinning fast or slow ?? You may also want to open up the manual release valve and raise the mtr to full tilt position. And then top off the fluid. Any signs of any leaks ??

also when it's released, manually move the motor up and down. Try assisting the lift manually too. Often it's just the hinge is stiff.
