Hydraulic fluid in trim

[bfriendly]

Well I got my new trim motor and got it on. It is turning, but of course I lost all the hydraulic fluid so .......... Auto Electric in Marietta said to have the engine all the way down and fill with fluid.....wrong according the ole man(Love that guy) at Dalton Marine. Also the sticker on my cylinder says it is under pressure when it is DOWN. I have the engine up (By hand) filled it up. let it down and up and down and up, all by hand so far since the cylinder will not "Catch" yet.

Each time, so far when I have it up air keeps coming out when I open the fill plug. I add more fluid and have done this a few times, but so far it will not catch and go by itself.........please tell me if I am doing this right or what I need to do....

Thanks, Bruce 770 540 4934

Try and use your emergency release and lower the engine then tighten it back up and see what happens.
