[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 422647, member: 12995"] I weigh 150 lbs and have a short shaft 60/45 Mercury 2 stroke and I had to put both feet against the transom and then pull up on the cowling(hood) to tilt it up and lock it. It wasn't that big of a deal since the gas assist would help once you got started tilting. Once in a while, if I wasn't paying attention it would come up short and then go back down and tilt me up. I'm not sure how much the gas assist absorbs an impact, I have a tunnel and I've never hit anything. [/QUOTE]
