trim reservoir

[mossygo]

I just bought a 78 silverline w/ mercruiser 470 and I can't figure out where I need to fill the trim resevoir. Never had an inboard so this is all new to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The motor............. Drive is fine, Know nothing about the boat itself.

Re: trim reservoir

As far as fluid, wouldn't ATF work?

Re: trim reservoir

looks like the trim motor says to use 10w-30 or 10w40. Is the vent screw on the motor supposed to be tight or loose during operation?

ATF, or Motor Oil is Fine........ Tighten the Screws when you're done Filling it......
