Just bought project boat....I know nothing and the topic posted by Stinger1 has helped alot!! But I need help with power trim...is that the funny looking system in side the boat that has several tupes running to the engine? It requires oil, where do I put the oil? It has a knob on it that says turn to left to lock, turn to right to unlock? The engine itself is very loose...it will not stay up I don't have a battery in the boat yet but afterwards will the Power-Trim, I'm sure be affected by this? I guess I have many questions and don't know where to begin..the engine is a 1973 Merc 850...I will continue to look through the site as I'm sure someone else has had the same question...thank you once again!<br /> Ben
