Power trim switch stuck in the up position and raise motor all of the way then cut out after running. Found that the relay was fried and replaced. Trim motor then runs up and down but engine was stuck in the up position. The manual release valve was seized so I removed the trim unit and was able to release the ram only after loosening the hydraulic pump housing. After relieving pressure the manual release valve was no longer seized and moveable. Replaced the 4 o-rings on the hydraulic pump and re-attached to trim body. Re-filled unit and installed and cannot get it to raise the engine after going thru the bleed procedures on this forum. Loosen manual release-raise engine-fill reservoir-close manual release-engine lowers on its own and then will not raise up. Both relays working and motor spinning -- could I have screwed up the pump by loosening it from the housing to release pressure when I couldn't get the manual release valve to work?
