Coming out of storage it would not trim up, only down in a herky jerky fasion. Seemed low on oil. Topped it off and still will not trim up. I hear trim motor running but no movement.
Is there air in the system? If so, how do I bleed it off?
How can I drain the trim oil completely? What is the best method for refilling?
Haven't noticed a leak but when I opened the fill plug the trim oil was milky.
If more imfo is required, let me know.
Hope someone can help. I have my annual fishing trip coming up and the local merc/mariner repair center can't get to it before I leave.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
