Trim system
Removing the trim pump from the boat
Removing the oil reservoir
Turn off the main battery switch. Disconnect the trim pump wiring harness, ground cable from the flywheel housing, and the positive (+) cable from the starter motor.
Remove the center bolt (1), together with the O-ring (2) and sleeve (3) that holds the plastic reservoir, using an 8 mm socket. Remove the reservoir and the rubber seal (8) (fig. showing the exploded view).
Note how the hydraulic hoses are connected to the pump. Place a clean drain pan under the pump assembly. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses. Install protective caps (1) over the hoses (2) and pump (3) to prevent dirt from entering. Unbolt the oil pump mounting bracket. Hold the pump upright to avoid oil spillage. Drain the oil from the pump. WARNING! Always exercise great cleanliness when working with hydraulic systems. Do not allow dirt or other impurities to enter the system. Use lint-free rags when cleaning parts. Always fill with clean oil of the recommended quality.
