Alpha 1 Gen 1 trim Cylinder air Bleed Procedure

[ddrieck]

Was fishing with my son over the weekend and I ran a #10 circle hook into one of the trim cylinder lines and punctured it. I am going to order new lines from Sterndrive and looking for the correct way way to bleed the air out of the system. Mainly wondering if I just need to cycle in and out until the oil decavitates or should I bleed the air by cracking the fitting loose while someone operates the trim switch?

Yes, that's it, just cycle up/down till all air is purged

Replace line. Cycle up and down a dozen times

Thank you for the quick reply.

Thank you also for the quick reply.
I will get the new lines installed/purged and come back if I have any issues
