Re: My trim pump won,t hold eng up
You need to rebuild the hydraulics. If it is a rusted poppet in the trim limit circuit then there is water in the system. If it is from additives in fluid then all of your o-rings are coming apart. Either way, rebuilding the hydraulics will fix it. That's the bad news. The good news is that your motor runs so it will be fairly inexpensive. Your manual release is probably fine since it doesn't fall until you use throttle. you'll need a cylinder kit, a manifold kit, and a handful of tiny little BN90 or viton seals that go inside the pump itself.
Oh - almost forgot. There is also the possibility that you are lifting engine so far up that the cooling intakes come out of water and it is supposed to drop back down to prevent overheating. But then it would have always done this since the day it was new.
