Hey, Bassnut. On OMC units your symptoms say low fluid. I am assuming that the pump motor runs when you ask it to go down but it doesn't move. If that is the case, find the screw-plug that looks like the gearcase plug. Take it out and stick a pipe cleaner or something in to see how the level is. It should be right up to the plug. If it's low top it up, run her up and down a few times, then top her up again.<br /><br />Good luck.<br />JB
