Default Manually Raise Outdrive?

My trim and trailering switches don't work and the outdrive is down. Any ideas as to how I can raise the outdrive to take the boat to a repair facility?

Thanks,

Steve '03 19SX

    You can disconnect the trim rams and then prop/tie it up. That'll work until you get to a repair facility. Just pop the caps off where the rams connect to the drive and undo the nuts and bushings on the long shaft going through the housing. Make sure you don't lose any parts. Many marine stores sell a prop that holds the outdrive up you might want to look into picking one up.
