    got new boat/motor

    I just bought a 1990 sunbird barletta 204 cc with a 1990 johnson 120hp. The motor has t&t and I want to know how to lower it manually before I go hooking up power. The lower is cracked so I was planning on drain/fill the unit and only using it while doing engine checks in the driveway. If the...
