mariner engine wont drop down

we have just bought a second hand mariner 40hp engine, we put it on the boat this morning but the engine wont go down, please can anyone help us with this problem?
 
check the trim oil level, also there is a manual release on the pump that will let it go down and up by hand. Check for a tilt lock also
 
The pivot shaft on the transom clamp is probably seized. Try pumping lots of grease through the grease nipples and see how you go. Really force it in there, get it flowing out of the end of the shaft.

Regards, Andrew.
