Trim and tilt issue.

I have 1996 50 HP Evinrude. I resealed the trim and tilt unit and after I bled out the air it operated perfectly. Overnight The engine bled down from the up position. I found that the manual release screw was slightly opened. I replace the o rings on the manual release and it holds fine. It does not bleed down and goes down when I press the button, but it will not come back up. The hydraulic motor runs but it will not go up. I know it must be something simple.
thanks for reading.
 
Are you filling it when it's tilted all the way up ??

thanks guys for your help. I was tilting it all the up then filling it. I don't know why it took so much but I had to repeat the cycle
8 more times before it finally started tilting up. Altogether approx.. 15 cycles of filling and raising/lowering to make it work.
thanks for those who responded.
