My 30 hp Merc (1997) has power trim & tilt, and I am looking for instructions to correctly change the oil in the system where I will have no air in it. I started screwing around with this because the trim would not hold in an upper position against the prop torque.

Sounds like a seal problem... Changing the fluid will not help if that is the case...

They pretty well bleed themselves as you run them full up & down a few times provided it isn't low on oil to start with. <br /><br />But if its easing itself down, it ain't the oil bubba--its broke.
