im getting frustrated , i have a merc70 hp , ser # ob227858, i think its a 89 or 90 model , anyway i cant get the motor to come up ,i think it may be the trim motor , but ive seen a diagram of the trim pressure release and mine doesnt look like that it has a round deal that looks like a stripped nut , how in the world am i suppose to get on this thing with any kind of tool, the hole isnt big enough to even get needle nose pliers on it , anyway i have a picture of it but dont know how to post it here ,, any help would be appreciated...!

Theres a snap ring that must be remove to get the release valve out if thats what your trying to do. If the pump motor is not running then try to jump the solinoid to see if you have a bad motor. I don't quite understand you quistion--Bob

It's a plastic screw that is in a hole on the starboard side of the engine mount bracket
