I have a 92 johnson 40 hp. I just replaced the plastic (shell) that attaches to the cable on one end and to the round ball on the lever. When I push the lever to the position to raise the motor I can't move the motor very far to the up position. In other words the cylinder is not moving and is not helping to raise the motor. What can I try to get the cylinder to move when I try to lift the motor up to put the brace to the trailer under it? thanks for any help. chodie

Help the motor to full tilt and grease the ram after inspecting it for scratches, corrosion or paint. Then move the motor up and down several times. If the system won't support the motor, you have to replace the cylinder.

I can't pull the motor up. It will move a small distance, but not enough to pull the ram out of the cylinder. Could it need adjusting someway?
