POWER TRIM AND TILT
INSPECTING THE POWER TRIM AND
TILT FLUID LEVEL
Inspect:
• Power trim and tilt fluid level
Level is low → Add power trim and tilt
fluid to the proper level.
Recommended power trim and
tilt fluid
ATF Dexron II
WARNING
When removing the power trim and tilt res-
ervoir cap, the power trim and tilt fluid may
spurt out due to internal pressure. There-
fore, fully tilt up the outboard (the tilt ram
assembly fully extended) and then slowly
remove the power trim and tilt reservoir
cap.
Inspecting steps
(1) Tilt the outboard all the way up and
lock it with the tilt stop levers 1.
WARNING
After tilting up the outboard, be sure to
support it with the tilt stop levers.
Otherwise, the outboard could suddenly
lower if the power trim and tilt unit should
lose fluid pressure.
(2) Remove the reservoir cap 2 and
inspect the fluid level.
NOTE:
The fluid level should be directly below the
check hole as shown.
(3) Add power trim and tilt fluid if needed,
and then install the reservoir cap.
