Tilt and trim fluid change 2005 200 HPDI

[rangerroy]

I had the cap on my tilt trim almost vibrate all the way off and got some water in the hydraulic fluid. What's the procedure to get out all the fluid and replace??

My guess is to tilt it all the way up and then lock the motor in place, take the cap off and use some sort of syphon pump to get the old fluid out and then pump new fluid in. Is there a recommended syphon pump to do this or has anyone a better method??? I'm guessing Yamaha may have one that screws on in place of the reservoir cap. Any hints/help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

My guess would be remove the T&T (easy job) and then pour the fluid out. Refill with fluid and mix it up good either by hand or plug unit back in and cycle a few times then dump and refill again till the fluid is clean.

Shoot me your email and I can send directions for T&T removal

Just sent you an IM with my address. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated as I'm a newbie at this and unfortunately the dealers that I have tried that are close to me are pretty much worthless.

Thanks,

Thanks, didn't have the detail I was really looking for on removing the trim kit, but I think I got the idea. Was really good info on bleeding the system!! I'll see if I can grab a few cycles on Sunday and see if I can get this cleaned up.

Anyone else have some suggestions on this??


Thanks,
