Re: tilt motor not doing what it should

It's called an elector mechanical lift. The problem is usually corrosion holding it in the transom shield more than the bolts.
Heat and penetrating oil is your best bet, but don't expect the penetrating oil to do much.
If the boat was ever in salt wate, the problem gets even worse.

Yes it should pull straight out. Twisting usually helps.

I remember one time someone saying there was a guy that rebuilt them, but I don't remember who it was. From Volvo, the parts are NLA.
