On the 90 hp Johnson, when facing the motor, on the rightside of the transit mount, there is a hole with a large straight edge screw, back it out and it will relaese the presure on the hydralic ram and you will be able to raise the motor.

sir,

I may be able to answer your question even
though I have a 90 merc. there should be a
manual release screw on the trim/tilt motor
toward the bottom. you may be able to acess it
from the side through a small hole in the
mounting bracket. this is a large thread-in
screw probably hard plastic. use a flat bladed
screwdriver and turn ccw about 3 to 4 turns.
cyl lock will release and you can manually
release and lift motor. motor is heavy so you
may need to get help. I would highly recommend
using a motor support once you get it up.be sure
to turn manual release back in after you lift your
motor. hope this helps.
