    1980 70hp evinrude power trim

    the power trim motor sounds like its working but it won't trim the motor in or out. will low fluid cause this or something else..also can you use power steering fluid in the power trim unit?

    If memory serves me correctly that trim unit uses type F transmission fluid.

    Been a long while since I worked on one but I'd guess less than a quart.
