Also check you wires, loose connections and corrosion will do the same thing.

+1 I had that issue and didnt think to check the connections. Diving underwater at the dock in 56 degree temperatures and taking pieces off the outdrive to be able to manually tie it up and get it on the trailer is not fun at all!!! :lolhit:

Sorry Im not a "real boater" like you! Just sharing my silly experience :whistle: Hence the reason why I said to check connections also.

Next time take a quarter or screwdriver, key... and put it across the two large posts. The drive will go up and get you out of a jam.
