    tilt/trim problem

    Hi guys, i tried my tilt and trim on my 115 merc today, I was able to lower ir just fine but when I tried to lift to original position it would only raise about 8inches then quit. I could put it back down and lift it again to the same level but not any higher again?

    115 inline 6 Merc

    Just took compression test on merc 115 hp starting top cylinder down all read 120 compression until i hit #5 ZERO COMPRESSION? And bottom was 120 also. Shouldn’t there be some kind of reading on the fifth one down? Does this mean I just got hosed by seller? Fix?
