    Mariner Magnum II / Merc XR4 Trim cylinders - should retract with motor down on tilt lock?

    sounds like its operating correctly........... it changes sound because its a different circuit so ta speak.. tha tilt part (single large cylinder) is jus that and has nothing ta do with tha trim (2 short cylinders) part...... also tha single will not hold under power..
