Trim tab oil question

gellers · #1 October 10th, 2009, 08:57 PM

We have recently obtained a 1984 Bayliner Ciera 2750. While getting the boat ready for winter I found that the reservoir for the trim tabs is empty. The tabs seem to be working though. What oil is used for the trim tabs? And how much should be added, or is there a level mark/dipstick I am missing to indicate when it is full?

Thanks

I think it's regular transmission fluid but I AM NOT sure, sorry
