How do you adjust the trim height? New "used" engine, will not tilt high enough to engage trailer position lock.

Thanks

Even with the manual valve open you can only raise(lift) the engine to the same position as the tilt motor, there is only approx 4" of center piston rod that comes out of the hydraulic cylinder, it seems that aleast another 3" of piston rod is not coming out of the cylinder. It feels like there is some type of mechanical stop that is stopping the travel. Is there any mechanical "stops" located in the tilt/trim tube that could be set at a different position by whomever owned the engine before?
