I have been having trouble with the trim tilt on my 1998 Mariner 135.
I have concluded that it is low on fluid I removed the plug on the left Cylinder reservoir and no fluid came out.....
My questions
1. Do I put the new fluid in this same whole I removed the plug from? What is the proper procedure to put in new fluid?
2. How do I bleed the system? I read on a forum that this is a self bleeding system ..... I read that just raise the motor 3 to 5 times and this wil bleed the system...... Is this procedure correct? If it is correct, do I raise and lower the motor with the Plug installed or remover?
3. Do I need to do anything with the manual relief valve? What is this for? I read someplace online that this relief valve should be loosened .... Is that to bleed the system? Also if I do need to loosen this relief valve, I tried with a large common screwdriver, but it would't budge. Any suggestions if I do need to loosen it?
I am new to,the forum..... Thanks in advance
