Flushing Alpha One trim fluid?

[Randal106]

How whould i go about flushing, and re-filling the Power trim fluid? the fluid is a milky pink, and it should be red correct? also, what fluid do you reccomend to fill it back up? Can you use tranny fluid?

Thanks

ATF is 1 of the many recommended Oils,.......
I'd say that's what your's has in it,... Hence the Reddish Color......

Use a small Pump to remove the oil from the Res.,....
Then Refill it,+ Cycle it,.. Repeatedly.......

If it Pinkens again,..... Do the Same Thing, Again till it Stays Red..........

Ok, thanks for the tips, what i did is i removed the two lines on the Outdrive, pumped out the Res. with a hand pump, filled it with, ATF and flushed the fluid out the lines on the outdrive, it worked pretty well, and there was only a little pinkish tint after all was said and done, ill have to do it agin later to get the rest out.
