    tilt and trim fluid?

    I have the off shore trim system on my 06' 250xs, pump and tank are located inside the boat. I took the cylinder off and had it worked on (slow interinal leak) now I have to top off the fluid and I suppose I will have to bleed out the air. My question is what fluid should I use and what is the best way to bleed this system or is that not necessary.

    Mercury or Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid.

    Self-bleeding system. Cycle up and down several times, allow to sit for two hours, and then recheck fluid.
