Went to take the runabout for a spin yesterday after not using it for
6 months or so, and discovered that the outdrive is stuck about
halfway up. It will go farther up but not down. The hydraulic
resevoir is full, the pump sounds like it is running OK in both
directions but no downward motion, even when standing on the outdrive.

Any suggestions?



Smear some K-Y or some other lube of your choice on the exposed pistons,
and then sit on top of the drive to force it down while someone actuates
the switch.
