Just purchased a new API 440 ABN Power Trim Motor and Resavior to replace my old worn out one. What oil is recommended to use in this unit?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Power Trim Motor

Some Mercs use 30 wt (10w-30 in today's oil market) oil and others ATF which is somewhere around 15-20w. Quicksilver makes a fluid for said item. I don't think it really matters. Want an oil to lubricate the moving parts and be compressible and thin enough to be fluid at low temps that some boaters experience.

My 2c,

Mark
