130 BETO trim tilt problem

[JohnOrrett]

Hi all; the trim/tilt on my friend's engine is acting up - sometimes it won't go up, sometimes it won't go down. This happens when trying with either the remote switch or the switch on the unit. It sounds a little 'screechy' at the start and end of the travel. I've been looking at some other forum threads regarding tilt/trim issues. is the reservoir filler cap between the pistons and accessible when the engine is tilted up?

Is there any specific method to fill and bleed?

many thanks in advance,

John

Check fluid level with engine fully tilted up, oil fill is probably a 17mm head bolt on the oil reservoir and fill to level full.

Hi again. Due to family circumstances, I havent tried this yet. One quick question - how much fluid will i need to bleed or fill? Should one 32oz bottle of Yamaha performance Power trim and tilt fluid be enough?
