I have an Evinrude Etec 150HP motor with power tilt and trim hydraulic unit.
The motor is tilted in the down position and I cannot get the power tilt and trim unit hydraulic pump motor to run. I have checked
At this point, I'm just keen to get the engine tilted so that I can replace the power tilt and trim unit or just the motor.
A mechanic I spoke to said that to move the boat he could take the propeller shaft / gearbox off.
I was wondering whether anyone could tell me whether if I took the lower pin that goes through the hydraulic tilt unit out and also the other pin that looks like just there to restrain things if needed - both outlined in pic - whether I could then tilt the whole assembly up or whether it would clash with something else? Also, am wondering how you get a pin like shown in position 1 out…. It has kind of a circlip but I have never seen one like it - it has no bits to pull apart - any advice appreciated.
Iam open to any other suggestions that would help me get this unit fixed.

- that there is 12V coming out of the relay to the motor blue and green wires
- I have even connected 12V directly to the motor plug in both polarities but the motor will not turn
- The resistance of the motor seems very high > 130kohms i.e. seems open circuit
- I have checked that the limit switch circuit is closed
