Problem with Hydro-Jacker Hydraulic Jack Plat

Left to go fishing this morning and my motor overheated. Realized the jack plate was all the way up and the motor was not picking up enough water. I'm 90% sure the problem is with the actuator and not electrical or the relays. Do any of you know how I can relieve the hydraulic pressure to get the jack plate down. Any assistance that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

You can bypass the relay pack to lower the motor but it seems you have already ruled that out. I had one years ago that got stuck from low fluid. Also been on a boat that had one get stuck and the old tap with a hammer method worked. Do you have a picture of the unit? I suppose you could always just put a jack on the motor and pull the high pressure line, could be fun?

Barf and Seapickle This is a self contained unit and I don't see where I can bleed off the pressure.
