    First, try to determine where it is stuck. I’ve seen rusted up lower unit gears, and broken vanes on a water pump impeller jamming things up. Pull the lower unit and see if it’s still stuck. Yeah – it’s usually the pistons, but you can waste a lot of time there if it’s something else.
    Good Luck!

    That is pretty smart, I never thought of that. It’s soaking in transmission fluid right now. I filled the cylinders up, and turned it upside down. I’ll let it soak for a day or two, then Try to tear it apart .
