Outboard Motor Stuck in Up Position? Check This FIRST!

Before you get scared that something's terribly wrong with your outboard motor's trim/tilt, check this first! It's common for these brackets to be used for transportation or winter storage, and it's easy to forget the bracket is blocking the trim/tilt from being lowered. These brackets can be used to block the force/weight of the motor from pushing on the trim/tilt cylinder when trailering or for long periods of storage. They help with the longevity of your motor's trim/tilt unit, but they can cause panic if you forget to release the bracket before you launch the boat after a road trip or when launching for the first outing of the season.
