I have a 99' 115 yamaha 2 stroke. Just brought it back from fishing (where it worked great all morning) and went to lower the motor, and it would not move up or down. I used the manual release valve to lower it, and now it still won't move. TT Fluid is full.

However, I hear the motor and pump running fine when trying to trim both up and down, except nothing happens. I have tried both the switch on the throttle and motor as well. The only other problem I have had is lately I have to trim the motor up briefly, before being able to lower it after trailering.
Just wondering if anyone could guide me in the right starting direction to troubleshoot.


I've tried the search function, but came up empty...thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for the reply.

How do you bleed it if you can't get it to move? I opened the fill cap, to relieve any pressure...but nothing.
