Hi guys,<br /><br /> I just bought a new little boat yesterday, and I already managed to break something. I'm not familiar with manual tilt and trim setup(my Cajun is all power) but when I was lowering the engine I flipped the small lock tab to the motor down position, this thing has a small cable that runs down to the little hydraulic cylinder...well the cable snapped and after pulling everything off it appears that the valve that it is supposed to operate on the cylinder is stuck in the open position...the motor can be moved up or down with no resistance at all. Anyone out there ever tore into one of these things? I've checked several websites and can't find the cylinder for sale anywhere...suggestions?
