changing trim fluid in a yamaha 50

[totallylost]

Hi,

I have a 2004 Yamaha 50hp and would like to know where I can get step by step instructions to add/replace trim fluid.

Thank you

wanted to add that I have a slow leak so will I need to get the air out?

fill the unit by taking out the back plug, part#61.
air should bleed out by cycling up and down.

have you checked that your manual relief valve, part #59 is tight?

Thanks for the reply. I'll check the valve but my repair guy said last year that my whole unit needs replacing so I just want to refill the slow leak to avoid the cost.
