Just bought 77 fiberform with Merc 850 thunderbolt. The motor runs great, low hours, proud to have gotten it for a great price. I finally got it converted to a fishing vessel and noticed that the trim locking mechanism was locked down. I thought the thing was completely manual, spring loaded. Then I read a thread on here from 2001 and you were talking about the thing being hydrolic/electric. So, I don't know where to start. There was talk of chaning the oil (I don't even see a place to do this), and talk of electrical conections? If anyone has the time could you give me a starting point? Does it have to be under power to engage/disengage? Thanks for any help.
