Does anyone have a power trim unit available (or a parts motor) that would work with a 2008 60 HP Mercury motor (60 ELPT 4S)?
I was getting the boat ready a few weeks ago, and the motor wouldn't move. Even after loosening the manual release screw I wasn't able to lift the motor. I ended up having to remove the release screw, and I was slowly able to lift the motor as all of the fluid from the hydraulic cylinder was drained. I disassembled everything, replaced the o-rings in the cylinder, replaced the fluid... and I was back to square 1. I ended up having to drain the fluid again to tilt the motor up for trailering.
