Re: How Do I Check Tilt/Trim Fluid Level
Yep, sometimes mine makes a little "creaking" sound right at first, then works fine the rest of the day, it just has to be a few air bubbles in the system, but I've resisted the temptation to screw with it for fear I'd make it worse. I understand these systems aren't very serviceable and if they die, a new unit is about $1200, depending on the model. I believe you can add fluid fairly easily, and work the unit up and down several times to get the air bubbles out of it. Good Luck!
