The outdrive will not go down after the hurricane. The starter and the
trim electronics stopped working after the 12 inches of rain.

I want to lower the outdrive to take the boat to the boat ramp. I asked
how to get the unit lowered and i was told to open the oil lines and
lower the unit by hand.
The unit would not lower with the hydrolic line open.

If i undo the two trim cylinders that are in the water at the end of
the outdrive will the unit lower into position ? or must the oil line
be open and the cylinders unbolted ?

Thanks in advance
