Manually raising an outdrive

[Lou_F]

Is there a way to manually raise an Alpha 1 Gen2 if the hydraulic system fails?

There is no bypass valve, if that is what you were looking for. About all you can do is disconnect the trim cyliinders from the drive and lift the drive up by hand. Or disconnect the lines from the trim pump and lift the drive (Messy)

We pulled the motor off the valvebody of the trim pump on my buddies boat and used a cordless drill with a standard screwdriver bit in it to spin the pump and lower the drive when the motor failed in the up position. This is assuming your motor failed and the hydraulic system is not affected.

Remove the trim rams from the anchor pin & tie the drive up, if you are in a jam.....
This will take two 9/16' wrenches & less than two minutes.....
