1995 175 Yamaha - Power Trim/Tilt has started hanging up in the full up position. If the tilt is run all the way up it most often will then be stuck there. When you first try to tilt engine back down, with switch engaged tilt pump is running but no engine tilt. If you engage the switch and with pump running lift the lower unit up and down a bit, the tilt engages and engine proceeds to rock down normally.<br /><br />Is there a stop/interlock switch that limits the top of tilt travel or other adjustments for this?<br /><br />Also interesting happenings off southern Ca. A huge run of Humbolt Squid is going on. Fishing at dusk and night anglers are catching large numbers of these beasts in the 25 to 75 lb category. I've run out a couple times now and these are some wild animals. Color/pattern changes from purple to white to brown like flipping on a light switch. Large tentacles covered with suckers ringed with hooks and a very large parret like beak.

hello<br /> most the time that is caused by a bad main relif valve. could be a pump problem but not likely. no good way to test it without a dissasemble and inspection.
