I had all most run in to some rocks on the weekend but I had turned off motor and put drive up but we had bumped in to the rocks and one of my tilt cylinders broke off. sucked in a bit of water but drained got used cylinder now outdirve will go up with out an issue but down won't go down with out forcing it. (ie pressing in and someone standing on it) checked all wiring and went though bleeding process but no luck still won't go down any ideas?

few points
as it's going down with filler screw out of pump fluid will come out as being forced in.
when I crack the back lines o the cylinders it will go down on it's own and fluid comes out.

believe I have a stuck valve but not sure where to look for it.
