Default Outdrive & tach problems

Finally got the boat ('85 V-20 cuddy) in the water and it started right up, but:

1) The outdrive wouldn't go down. The pump howled, but no movement - even with a guy standing on the drive for encouragement.

2) The tach pegs as soon as the motor is started and stays there at any RPM.

My mechanic buddy took the manuals home to study, but we would welcome any comments you guys might have.

Thanks - Scott
