1985 mercury 35 hp serial A153538 model 1035625. Benn having intermittent problems with power trim not going up at times . This outboard has the in boat trim control pump assembly with only hydraulic hoses going to lift shocks outside. Just trying to find out where do I release pressure if the unit does not respond so I can trailer it home. Thanks in advance.

There should be a knurled knob on the very bottom of the power trim motor/reservoir. Turn it CW to allow motor to be trimmed by hand. it will be stiff to lift....
