Trim fluid change

Does anybody have any ides how to change or add, the hydrolic fluid for the trim motor?
When my motor is trimmed up, it creeps all the way down.

Thanks fellas

If the motor runs up all the way it does not sound like you are low on fluid, the creeping sounds like a seal leak. You can check the fluid level on the filler port, just take the pressure off before you open it.

Thanks for your input,

The motor does run all the way up but, very slow, and its
getting to the point where I need to help it a little.
And the motor doesn't sound right.
My question was that when the motor is all the way up, the filler hole is still horizontal. If it was the fluid, how would you get it in, do they make a pump?

Thanks again

Some trim fluid bottles are shaped like a tooth paste tube. I use a clear squeeze mustard/ ketchup bottle. You stick em in the filler hole and squeeze it in. It sounds like your low on fluid. When trimmed all the way up the fluid level will be level with the fill tube. If its low at this point fill it up.
Or to fill a nearly empty tank, Trim the motor all the way up and put on the lock. Unscrew the cap and shove the bottle in there. I have a small tac hole in the bottom of my bottle, it allows the air to get out as you press the trim down. Lock still on! Then as your pressing the trim up you plug the hole in the bottom and squeeze the bottle. This forces the fluid in as your pressing the button, drawing it into the system. You have to be quick gettin the cap back on. Messy job have a catch pan underneath.

Once you do either one you bleed the system.
lower the engine all the way down. Then unscrew the manual valve. Slowly hand lift the engine all the way up, Then drop it back down slowly. Screw the manual valve back in. Once it settles for a few do it again. This will work the air out of the system.
Good luck I've had to replace the rubber seals in there. Maybe a reason for being low on fluid. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

Sounds like the issue I just went through with the exception of the slow trim. Mine would leak down over night, and eventually while running the force of the prop would push it down.

Long story short, $1300 to replace the entire trim unit and was back on the water 4 days later. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/crying.gif

Thanks guys, I'll get on it.

(hope it works, I' not looking foward to dropping 1300 on it) http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif
