need help adding trim fluid and bleeding
 

1974 135 evinrude. I need help on the protocol for fill and bleeding power trim and tilt. all help is appreciated. links are also good to have. thanks fellas

pics are worth alot send pictures of the engine there should be a fill tube and my merc has to be all the way in the up possition not sure about yours

I use an old type oil squirt can, pull the fill plug, have some one run the trim up and start filling the reservoir while the pump is running, when it gets all the way to the top, add more oil till it starts coming back out of the reservoir, put the plug back in, cycle the trim up and down several times, then let it sit for a while, come back, raise the trim up and check the fluid level with it all the way trimmed up, add more fluid if needed.

What type of fluid should I use on this ole girl?

they usually specify a 30 weight hydraulic oil, I'ce used motor oil and transmission fluid with no ill effects

yes aft or non foaming fluid
