Please help if able. Have the above setup on my boat. I seem to only have tilt no trim. Recently motor would not lower at lake, took home disgusted and pulled tilt res cap and frothy fluid escaped. I have read 300 forum advices and as far as can tell the Evinrude fastrak system has a special procedure for bleeding/replacing tilt unit lube. Some say release manual valve on port side and cycle engine using motor up/down few times pausing in between and refilling as needed and then retighten manual release. Other say this system is self bleeding and to only add fluid and cycle up/down and wait in between with no mention of release valve.
I cannot find my manual and am desperately hoping someone would be kind enough to show link or look in their manual and specify. Thanks

Don't need the manual release. Just use the hydraulics to raise and lower, refilling as needed at the top.
