I had the marina pull both drives in the spring and do an overhaul due to lack of time.
At the end of the season after haul, I left both drives down.
When they pulled the drives, all 4 cylinders were attached at the transom end and extended all the way out.
After they put the drives back on, they told me I needed a new pin at the drive end (the big pin where you attach the cylinders) so that drive did not have the cylinders attached.
When the pin arrived, I went to check on it and they said it was all set but one cylinder was all the way in (attached to the pin) and the other is all the way out (loose). When I try to trim the drive, the motor spins in either direction but neither cylinder will move.
I know one or both of the cylinders COULD be stuck, but both operated just fine recently.
For the one that's unattached and all the way out, I can twist the end of the cylinder in either direction.
Would the fact that they are in this configuration make it impossible to work? In other words, if one is already fully in, and I trim the drive down, should the other still be able to contract?
