55 hp Suzuki Outboard with 2 ram tilt/trim system. Don't know the year.
My friend decided to replace fluid in a (working) trim motor reservoir. He drained the fluid out with the motor in the down position. Upon refilling it, the trim motor still sounds fine but does not raise or lower the motor. We tried some suggestions found online to bleed the system. What we get is fluid and no air.
Tried manually raising the motor to the full up position and then filling reservoir. This produced some pressure as the motor then slowly falls to the down position. However, the motor just wants to sit there in the down position... Won't go up or down.
Any tips on how we can start over and properly fill and then bleed the trim/tilt system?
Thanks, SSG B
