Motor Trim pump help

[dhmojo]

Last week, after the storms rolled through, my motor's trim motor has gone south. Tomorrow I have to pull the boat. I know there is a pressure relief valve, but I'm not sure where it is. I have to somehow carefully get the boat up the ramp with the motor down, or somehow attempt to raise the engine. Can somebody tell me where the screw is & maybe offer any suggestions so I don't need to destroy my L/U. The motor is a 2004 Evinrude DI 225. Thanks guys!

You can view the Johnson/Evinrude parts diagrams at the following link. You should be able to locate the screw on the diagram:

The link to the parts diagrams are on the right side of the screen.

On my John/Rudes, it is on the left side of the motor on the mounting bracket. The one's I've seen are labled, but I don't have exp. with your particular engine. It should be a large, flathead screw. Turn counter-clockwise to disengage, and you can lift the motor right up.
