250 Yam Tilt Broke, How do I engine down manually

[nestor]

Can't get the cowling cover off to get to switches. Trailor switch is broke. Any way to get the engine down? Boat is in the water.

Thanks,

p.s. I took the trailor switch from the other engine and attached ( could remove cowling cover just enough to get to the wire harness of the stuck engine). Connected and when I press the switch, I can here a solenoid sound, but no motor action.

Should be a release screw that is visible from the side of the tilt casting. Starboard side with a hole in the casting. My 225 has an icon that shows the engine with an arrow pointing down.
