I can't get my 85 Force engine to come up, and I need to move it to a repair station. How can I get it up.
Thanks

Re: Hydrolic problems

If you have relays--some did not--then look for them near the inside front of the engine. Switch the two relays and see if that gets it to come up. If you have extra relays, try replacing them. If not. those units have a relief valve so that if you hit something the engine will tilt up. It won't be easy, but you may be able to yank it up. If you are on dry land, try a jack.

This assumes that you don't hear the motor turning and the motor is good. Remenber: You need to check all connections and the battery connections to be sure power is getting to the system. If you hear the motor turning, you need to check the oil level. The small knurled plug in the side of the reservoir is the fill plug.

It would be better if you gave more specifics--Engine year, symptoms, do you hear anything etc. Remember: It is very difficult to diagnose a problem without being there to avtually work on the engine--more so with little information. The quality of the reply will be directly related to the quality of the information furnished.
