Since the engine is off the boat, ant tilt/trim unit is off for rebuild, I tried moving the tilting part by hand. Can only do it with a great effort - is it normal? On one hand, it acts like a friction lock. On the other, this is the extra resistance hydraulics would have to overcome, especially when lifting. Thoughts?
(Was working OK previously; leak at the tilt cylinder prompted rebuild)
