    Trim Tilt Fluid help

    I was trying to check my trim tilt fluid and spilled a bunch out. When I tried to add it, it began overflowing almost immediately. What's the best way to add the fluid. Not easy with the way the hole is set up.

    Did you have the motor all the way up and locked in place with the lever. That is how I do in on my Mercury.

    I didn't that's when it spilled out but I did when I was filling it. Do you use a syringe or anything. I just had a bottle with a nipple cap on it.

    It does good, just a short bothersome sound (a lil higher pitch noise ) when it shifts from trim to tilt.Thanks Joe..BF
