Hi
I have a 1978 Mark Twain V Sonic with a 165hp Mercruiser engine. I have been having a starting problem when the engine is hot that I have posted about a few weeks ago. Now I have a new problem. When i pulled the boat out of the lake on Saturday the outdrive would not trim-up. You can hear the pump running and the outdrive moved a few inches but that was it. I unhooked the pistons that attached to the outdrive just to get it home. Once I had it home i figured it was low on hydraulic fluid so I put in some. The engine did raise but very slowly. I let it down and tried it again and it would only move a few inches. I tried some more hydraulic fluid but that didnt seem to help. Any thoughts ?
