Outboard power trim issues?? ?

Question

Motor goes up fine! Will not go down?? Was low on fluid but not sure if I added enough or correctly?? Still here the sucking of bubbles?? How do I add fluid correctly?? If that does not work what else is wrong?? Relays are good!! Thanks for the help

Answer 1

When the cylinder is fully extended the fluid displaces the shaft volume.  That's when I fill mine (at lowest level in fluid chamber).  If your fluid is leaking into the water, better get the seal fixed quickly.  A quick fix is 1 tablespoon of DOT-3 brake fluid.  This should hold you the rest of boating season.  In the down time, change the seal and save the fish.
