I have a 225 that tilt/trim motor has failed on and motor is in down-position.
I need to trailer the boat to work on it, but need to get engine up once I'm on the ramp otherwise I'll probably scrape the skeg. I know I can use the manual release to drop the pressure off the rams, but any tips for how to actually lift the motor once the pressure release it off from the water?
If I pop the engine-cover - would pulling horizontal-ish by the lift-rings be enough to tilt the outboard up?
