This is a new (used) boat/motor to me! and my first merc! <br /><br />The tilt and trim on the outboard operate very slow. Boat was just uncovered from storage (winter) and the tilt trim motor has to really work to pick up the outboard. If you try to help (or hinder) the tilt and trim it makes no diff...<br /><br />Fluid is FULL when in up position!<br /><br />Someone told me some valve probobly just stuck open it will problobly work itself out?!<br /><br />Has anyone experienced this prob??? Help!

turn the hydralic bypass screw out a couple of turns and try to tilt by hand to see if the pivot point is sticky. Robby
