Cannot manually tilt Mercury 20 OB, Tilt and Trim is locked in down position, what I found...

Great video. I have a 1971 Mercury 800 which is new to me with the same manual tilt mechanism. I didn't understand the linkage between forward selection and the manual release.

I am glad I was able to shed a little light on this set up. It had me scratching my head for a moment.
