Replaced trim motor, can't get air out of lines

[pensacola]

I just replaced the trim motor on my yamaha 60 outboard. It got air in the system and I can't get it all out. Please any advice would be great.

its self bleeding, simply cycle it up and down a few times,open the fill port let it sit 10 mins and fill to the bottom of the threads then cycle it 5 times and recheck the level.
always check fluid level in the full up position.

Wow thanks. I wish I would of asked on here before I started. Everyone told me it had a small hex bleed screw which I found. But it is seized and wants to strip out. So i was doing manually by opening the fill cap and letting the air out which worked but at the last four inches you could still hear the air pushing through the system. The motor was too low to release the cap but there is a 1/2" slotted plug on the port side that I could get to with the Motor all the way down. I loosened it to try and let the last bit of air out. When I did the o-ring broke and now it's leaking out that hole. So when I replace the o ring all I have to do is fill it and do like you said.
