Can't flush 3.0 Merc. Trim won't go down either.

[Joebklyn]

I had my 2005 Bayliner 175BR winterized at my local merc dealer. Now, I'm trying to wake it up and with a Seloc manual in hand, I'm stuck. It has the single point drain system, I disconnected these 2 hoses and lowered them. The rose colored anti freeze ran out. I then connected muffs and with water flowing for a few minutes, I disconnected the hoses to see if there was any fresh water in them. There was'nt. I then tried to lower the sterndrive and nothing, not a sound. The battery is in great shape fully charged. Any ideas? Thanks Joe

There's your first problem, those are to be used for knee pads, not as a manual.

Here's a link to the OEM service manual you can download to your computer (about 25MB in size)

Go to the troubleshooting section (1C) and look at pages 1C-12 and 13. There are also wiring diagrams.
