1996 Johnson Outboard Trim/Tilt

[golbrick7]

Own a 1996 Johnson Outboard, model J70TLEU. How do I check and/or fill my Trim/Tilt fluid?
Any help would be appreciated.

Raise the motor to full tilt position and then fill the reservoir.Cycle it five times up and down and then check it again

Is the attached photo the Trim/Tilt Resavor?

Yes. You can check out the original factory exploded parts diagram for your engine on: epc.brp.com

Thanks ever so much for the diagram link, very helpful.
So if I unscrew the cap, which is at the bottom of the resavor, how do I check/fill?

Make sure the boat is level, and fill with Dextron auto trans fluid, until she overflows. I need to use a plier and screwdriver together, to remove the cap.

Be sure to use Dextron II.
