Me too, just keep working the fluid into the cylinder and should start working. If not a new trim motor is not to hard install either. Let me know how it goes? have a great new year.
Had the issue today. Used my sons boat, trimmed up fine then wouldn’t go back down. Knew it was low on trim fluid but kinda scratching my head on refilling properly. Great tutorial!
EXCELLENT Video! My engine will not trim up or down but I hear the trim motor screamin when i try it so if I unscrew the manuall release screw & tilt this monster (150hp merc) up and down after I add fluid a few times ,it should suck enough fluid into the system and create the pressure needed to trim it up & down on it`s own ? I sure hope so! I just dread tryna lift this heavy motor manually up & Down.LOL
when the motor is down the tilt system in under pressure , so if you open that valve the liquid will come out . Try this with the motor all the way to the top and very little should come out .
I just replaced my entire trim motor and added fuel to it. Works fine but now it has white smoke coming from it after going up and down a couple times. Any idea what that might be?
My motor stuck down and look like is locked. I can’t lifted anymore I release the screw on the side and nothing happened anyone know what is the solution motor not working Outboard is Johnson 150 1998 fast strike Thank you
Boat sitting awhile makes noise but won't go up or down. Hope it's this simple . I subbed

@@Wolfemonsters will do
BTW I just did the manual release moved it up and down and it worked after. Guess I just had to bleed air?

Man thanks so much for posting this.
Excellent video, simple direct and to the point. Thank you very much. Lou
Exactly. I've skipped they 10 other videos lecturing me about their boat and stuff lol
Thank you glad you liked it. Did you get it working?
Appreciate that, is it working now?
Thank you, straight to the point and simple.
Nice, did it fix it. I hearing a lot people saying they still had to get a new motor?

Yep that is a great place to start. And is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole motor. Wishing u the best of luck 🤞
Please help. After i added the oil, the engine got stuck on the up position. Cant get it to come down. Thank you.
When i move it down it flushes all the oil out the top, is that normal or do i have a bad seal or some

I thought that's how you bleed the air out is by leaving the cap off and trim up and down. Adding more fluid every time it back up
Thank you help me great

maybe burning "FUEL"? It should be filled with HYDRAULIC FLUID, not "FUEL".
Did you hook the ground back up may be shorting out the new motor

My is kind of noisy. May be it needs oil.
I would deft start there. Hope this fixes it 👍
Why is the oil white and not red?
Was hoping it was stuck DOWN. not up.. 👀
