I cannot lift my motor by hand, after releasing manual release valve 2 full turns it will move about a 1/4 inch than stop. Been having leaking seals and trying to purge air out by lifting motor up and down by hand, will go down fine but will not come up, it's like it hits something. Using switch activates it just fine. 1997 C150
screw the release valve out until it stops turning

Keep in mind, it's still not easy to lift a motor that heavy.
Once upon a time, at a ramp far far away, I had to tie my 150 to a light pole and drive forward.

I know it's heavy but I can lift it, I have in the past. I can lower it and lift it manually while on the tilt cylinder but after I lower it onto trim rams about halfway or all the way down I can't lift it. Trust me I thought of using a winch but if I can't do it by hand I'm not forcing it.
