You can disconnect the lines at the pump to see if it is the pump or the
cylinders. It's messy. Just because the pump motor runs does not mean it
is pumping. You can also diosconnect the cylinders at the ends over the
prop and see that the outdrive can be moved up and down freely. That will
also lket you see if maybe just one cylinder is stuck.

The early ones only had one line to each cylinder. The later ones had lines
going to both ends of the cylinders. The later style works better.


I should have mentioned that we disconnected the cylinders and the
drive moves freely. The cylinders have two lines. Most of the lines
to the cylinders are pretty snug and we were afraid of breaking them.
We managed to get one cracked but I thought the flow appeared
inadequate. The fluid looked fine. Thanks for the info and I think
going back and cracking the line at the pump is a good idea to see if
a/the cylinder(s) is/are stuck.
