I have the motor off the boat and I'm rewiring the whole motor and want to pick the motor up to do the water pump and lower unit service. I removed the 3 big flathead plugs in the back to release fluid and good red fluid came out however I still can't seem to lift this bohemeuth up to lock in up position. Can somebody show me a tread that talks about this or just let me know how to get this done. Appreciate it.
