The best way is to disconnect the trim ram and lift the outdrive up.
I've done this on outboard units when I've had trim motor problems.

You carry the tools to do that on the boat?

All boaters should carry a basic set of tools and some electrical
tape.

Just in case 'ya know?

You are assuming all boaters are familiar with tools.

You know, that is a good point.

I'm with Tom. Good point!

But you may have a passenger and or a passerby who is familiar with the use
of tools. Also a voltmeter should be in that tool kit. I bought the one in
the boat at the 99 cent store. Works fine.
