Power Trim

[MrRob]

Can anyone tell me how to fill my trim system? I am going to install my new engine soon and I could do with this info please!
Any advice on installing a CMC Power Lift would also be helpfull

pour hydraulic oil into fill hole usually same hole as dip stick ( will have min and max levels on it)
as for power lift just bolt it on. depending on what you are using boat for and what gearbox casing you have will depend on how hight to set it to start with.
i.e cle box to run fast bolt lift on so that when lifter is at middle height bullet is approx 2" below bottom of transom ( this is just my opinion and im sure other people will have other ideas)

Is the fill hole on the engine saddle? its a 225 promax.
I have fitted the lift already its just the filling of it I am not clear about.

o sorry then i dont know my trim pump is remote and my power lift is electric not hydraulic

Your power lift is hydraulic nobba, it has an electric pump.

My trim pump is remote too. Thats why I dont know the crack with it. My last one ,black max, the filler was on the saddle. But I guess you fill this from the pump? The trim system is self bleeding right? So all I have to do it keep raising it up and down and filling it as the air comes out of the system?
