Tip for filling your tilt and trim

[Ron Whitnwy]

When filling the tilt and trim on my Evinrude after a few experiments on tring to get more fluid in the cylinder than on myself I found a soultion.<br />Walmart sells for about 6 or 8 dollars a small hand pump designed for changing the lower unit grease. This happens to screw directly on a quart of Dextron trans fluid and rather than tring to pour the oil into the housing, you pump it with speed and ease.<br />If you use the more expensive trim fluid in the tubes you can always pour it into a used but clean oil or trans fluid quart container. This really worked great and thought I would share what I found. Also, Thank you to all who posted tips on my questions the last few days.<br />Ron

Good idea Ron,<br />I bought a small pump oil can for about $5.00 and use it to service the trim on my '78 Evinrude 175. I use ATF as well.<br />Bill.......
