Scoots,

The tilt mechanism on that motor is a bit more complicated than most. There is a lever on the Right side, #16 in your pic, near the shift lever that needs to be pressed to release the motor back to a down position. I forget exactly how it works, but you have to lift the motor and depress the lever at the same time.

If I remember correctly, you also need to have the motor in Forward or Neutral to lower it. Might be wrong there. More help will be coming.

People either love those or hate them. I am in the former group. A bit under powered for a 9.5, but neat little motors and the price was right.
