Jack plate trouble

[72INVADER90HP]

I have a 1990 CMC Jack plate and the motor went out on the pump, now I want to bleed the hydrolic lines that go from the jack plate to the pump can any one help me with this? Oh and what kind of oil do I use? Thanks for any help

Re: Jack plate trouble

Are you wanting to bleed the lines before you disconnect them from the pump or bleed air after the pump repair?<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty

bleed air after pump repair. I had ater in the the pump area and took it apart to clean the water out and now I want to getr the air out of the lines.

Re: Jack plate trouble

Rob,generally cycling the unit up and down will self bleed a unit.Fill the unit then work a litle bit,and top up again,work a little bit in the opposite direction and top up again.Not sure if unit needs to be up or down to top off.Again generally,if you can't reach the plug with the unit down,put it up ALL the way.Be careful of the unit coming down,and oil sqirting out however,when you rmove the fill plug.Hydraulics are powerful.<br /><br />DHP
