Can anyone tell me if it is possible to manually lift the motor to lock it up
if the power trim is not working.

There should be a manual release screw recessed in the side of the starboard transom bracket. Use a large 3/8 plus standard screwdriver to loosen it three turns. Be sure to retorque it when you have finished.

I Should have mentioned can this be done while the boat is in the water?
The problem was we could not get it up on the trailer.

If you can reach the screw, yes.

With the manual release open, the motor will pull up fairly easily from inside the boat if you use the tilt handle at the top rear of the engine cover.​
