Bob,
Putting the boat in the trailer I noticed the startboard trim ram cap backed out a few threads and it was oozing pink frothy milky fluid. I removed the trim cap assy and looked at the o-ring(s) and all looked good (fluid inside of culinder was pink frothy milky). Cap is a little torn up on the spanner wrench surface from the mating part (where the ball end of the ram rests).
I have tightened the cap down (is there a torque spec?) and I am wondering what the procedure is to flush and fill the trim fluid? I know where and how to fill (white plastic cap). i would like to make sure that ALL water is removed from the system.
Oh yes, 2001 Merc EFI 225. Serial number is not at hand.
