    Battery charging

    Make sure the battery is pre-charged to at least 12v and don't boost it if it's weak - the charging system is meant to only maintain the voltage.

    Trim/tilt pump

    Hook up the power to the motor and press the buttons to see if it runs, the hoses are available online - you need 4 two small ones and 2 large; there's a knob on the front for the reverse lock. If the motor is OK oil should be pumped out of the lines; replace them and bleed.

    Lower Unit Issues

    You can figure out the GR by turning the driveshaft and watching the prop; put a pair of Vise grips on the driveshaft then put a mark on the gearcase and prop. Turn the driveshaft - it should go around twice and the prop goes once: this is a 2:1 ratio.
