    Tilt/Trim stuck all the way up

    1999 J115PLEEM Raised the motor and now it is stuck all the way up. The manual release appears to be frozen in place. Hit it for three days with PB Blaster, tried a big screwdriver, and manual impact driver and an electric impact driver. It’s starting to strip out the screw slot now. HELP! 😣

    99 Larson 186 SEI Ski-n-Fish Re-Deck Project
