Yamaha outdrive

[georgeirl]

Is there any way to manually raise the drive, while electrics are waiting to be fixed!!

Thanks guys

Short out the up terminal on the pump or disconnect the hydraulic hoses and force it up

Alternatively if the boats in the water and you have access to an ennerpak pump or Porto power pump and can source fittings you could use a hand pump to pump up the drive

Not in the water, on the trailer but with the drive down and the other electrical issue, I'm very limited to what I can do with her.

I'll try hardwire the pump and see what happens

A set of jump leads should do it there's 3 heavy wires into the pump. 1 is earth ignore that one & take a jump lead from live on battery to one of the other two one is down the other is up

That worked perfectly, thank you!
