Ok finally got all my seals on and figured it all out...upon reassembly, I cant get the unit to run right.


the relieve valve was open when reinstalling and when I got the unit put back on the boat, I tightened the valve and while the ram was full extended I filled up as much as I could.


it still wouldnt raise or lower, sometimes it would lower, but still havent got it to raise up.


Whats the process from a completely empty tilt and trim unit to get it to work again?


thanks
 
On my 1994 model you have to keep addding fluid untill it is even with the fill plug. Extend ram fully and add until it runs out, cycle a few times and add more fluid. I had to put my trailer tongue on the ground to get the cylinder verticle. It takes a while to get it full. Factory manual says to fill it with the unit off the boat.
