Hi folks, I'm at my wit's end with this.

When trying to tilt the motor up with the shifter in either forward or reverse, it won't budge until I reach over the transom and engage the shallow drive lever. It's been like this for years and I haven't been able to figure it out and I don't find anything in the Seloc manual about it. For some reason it's sticking or catching on something. It worked fine years ago, something out of adjustment maybe?

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
