Greetings,
I recently purchased a 1990 Spectrum boat with a 90hp Force (US Marine) motor and it needs some TLC...
I will have to manually lift the motor in order for me to tow it to my house. The problem is, I cannot for the life of me locate the manual release valve screw on power trim assembly.

Can anyone help? I know its a Force 5H196 power trim assembly.

Am I going to have to unscrew the hydraulic lines?

Thanks in advance,

Please view the photos if it will help you help me.

Your in the Mercury section.
The Forces do NOT have a release on the older motors. :(

Yes undo the front line, CAREFULLY!!!

I believe after 95 they might???? have used it on their stuff.

Before 94 they pretty much used Force
Then in 95 they went to Mercury

Jerryjerry05 thank you so much!

One followup....can you let me know which one is the front line? I did unscrew the line closest to me (outside of the boat) and it did not release the pressure. The line behind that might be the correct one but I did not have a wrench small enough to get in there. There are 3 lines coming directly out of the pump reservoir. Would it be best to unscrew all 3 of them to let the most amount of pressure out?

Thanks again,
Nick
