    Rt 188 with 115 proxs trim reservoir

    Long story short I moved back down to college a few weeks ago and brought the boat with me and put it right into climate controlled storage. I went out and fished right before I left for school and the boat ran flawless. I took it out this past Friday and went to take off the transom savor and the motor didn't want to trim all the way up like it has before. Seems to me like it is low on hydraulic fluid, and I called the local boat shop and they said that is most likely the problem or it could even be the solenoid in the trim. Anyway I am wondering if anyone could help me out and locate where the reservoir is for the trim? They said its not under the cowling but in the back compartment. Any advice is hugely appreciated!
