OK here is the deal. My jack plate stopped working after the boat had been setting up for a couple of months. When I worked on the problem the first time I put a jack under the plate and was able to raise the it while applying pressure and running the hydraulics. I was able to lower it back down by releasing the pressure and shacking the motor while running the hydraulics in lower mode. It would only come down while violently shacking the engine. I gave up on it and have fished several months now with out using the jack plate. I decided to make another stab at it yesterday. I was able to get the plate almost fully extended again by putting a lot of pressure pushing the motor up. Now I cannot get it to lower no mater how much I shake or move the outboard. Now I am stuck, I cannot use my boat with the motor raised to the point it is now.Please hep me…..
