My M40D2 Tohatsu tilt ram may have got some air/contamination , so how would I drain or top up the cylinder ? The shaft was bent and straightened and now the ram works but sounds horrible .

Tilt up, then down, then refill. Several times. If it tilts all the way up, it is probably full. Aside from removing the cylinder, draining was not part of the design. You could remove the snap ring that retains the manual valve, and drain it that way. Filling and bleeding will take time and patience. Info on that is in the owners manual. You can DL a copy from Tohatsu.com.
