I own a 96 200 HP Yamaha Saltwater Series, and I am having a problem w/ TILT mechanism . It sounds as it is hydraulic in nature since motor works and trim works, however when trying to raise beyond trim cylinders height, hear swishing air sound and engine will not raise. Tried adding fluid but not really sure of the procedure, there is a allen key screw in bottom left, however fluid does not flow in. Suspect there must be a vent opening someplace else to allow it to fill. If someone can help with procedure, would appreciate.

Re: Tilt & Trim problem

raise your motor all the way up and remove the round screw on the trim resiourve, fill to top. replace the screw and operate up and down a few times,repete this process a few times if the fluid looks frothy wait a few hours and then repete.The resiorve is located under the motor in the transom.<br /><br />and how do you spell resiorve?????
