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?

Drain a little fluid from each arm and make sure it's clean.
Run the drive all the way up then coat pistons with oil.
Try to lower the drive. You might have to stand on it to get it moving.
You should have stored the drive in the full down position.
You'll probably be OK. If not, holler back for help.
