    Tilt trim on 1990 40hp evinrude vro

    I have a problem with my tilt trim on my 40hp evinrude (VE40TLESR) on a lowe 150 (1990 model year). The trim seems to have a slow leak, so I tried to add trim fluid (I did this with no issues earlier). I ran the motor all the way up and set the hold up standard on the motor. I lowered the motor against the standard, and filled the till trim. The tilt trim motor runs both directions, but the motor is stuck against the standard and will not lift off the standard. By runs in both directions, I can hear the motor run, and it sounds different going up vs going down (or trying to go up/down to be more precise). Any suggestions would be helpful. Yes, I do know about the release screw for the hydraulics.

    thanks,
    Terry

    Try lifting up on the midsection and see if you can release the trailer bracket.
