Hi, I"ve had a bunch of merc 9.9 but I can't figure out how to get my
2003 8hp merc 4 stroke long shaft to tilt.
it's a manual tilt
I've tried the unlock/lock feature, tried in all gears.
the only way I can get it up is by reaching half way down the leg and pulling up on the black 'hoop' that is 'connected" to the shift shaft
any ideas?
