How do you relieve the pressure to lift the motor manually?"

Like Just-In -Time stated"the screw on the port side of the clamp bracket"rotate it counter clockwise.
Slowly.You may need help or have something to hold it in place before it bottoms out. Your 70HP should
be alot easier to handle than my 225 HP when I lost my T&T
 
I did like you guys said and i

I did like you guys said and it worked fine.

Got it timmed up.

BUt a potential problem has occured. Due to the crazy freeze here the lake has frozen over.
About half thelower unit was in the water when it froze. I broke around it and got the lower unit trimmed up but the area inside the prop is completely frozen. With some coaxing I was able to get the prop turning.

Have I got serious problems?

Will the freezing break something?

Thanks everyone.
