Drive Trim Oil????
What kind of oil goes in the trim rams? I've heard it depends on the setup which I'm not sure what exactly I have other then standard Bravo drives that were upgraded to XRs
|
I think my trim pump says on it what it wants, I want to say it says ATF or straight 30 weight motor oil.
|
I use this in my trim pumps.

oil or trans fluid just depends on what color it is.
|
All my boats have used engine oil. I think Merc specs straight 30wt.
|
Merc specs their trim fluid or 10 W 30 and in the past years listed 10 W 30 and 10 w 40.
|
In the past all I ever used was straight 30W oil. However, for our current boat I was told to use power steering fluid. I don't have the owners manual in front of me but whatever that says I would go with.

This is what I got from the owners manual -
Power Trim System - Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid, or SAE 10W-30 motor oil. 3pointstar |
I run the quicksilver power trim and steering fluid. Its expensive though
|
It's more like motor oil color then power steering fluid. Thanks for the input.
