I have 2012 175 pro xs on a Phoenix bass boat. I park on a lift and sometimes need to power off. I noticed today that when I throotle up the motor is lifting and wanting to come out of the water. Any ideas?
sn 1b886530 - Don, I purchased an extended warranty from you. IS this by chance still under warranty?

Sounds like a problem with the center tilt cylinder... That's all that holds the motor down when in reverse. Seals are pretty easy to install.

2014 Mercury Pro XS 200
The motor had been trimmed over half way up at the time if that's makes a difference.
under hard power in R some lifting will be normal

Anyway I can confirm this is normal?
with the engine trimmed down can you back up under with significant power
