mercrusier Bravo 3 trim fluid capacity?
 
Hey Guys, Does anyone know how much fluid the trim pump and pistons take as a total? my one trim pump was totally dry empty. I tried to bleed to pump itself and after a hour or that. I got a semi solid stream of fluid. Connected the lines and I literally went through 2 gallons of fluid and still nothing. Its taking the fluid in as I hit the trim switch but I just do nott see it taking 2 whole gallons in the system?? I do not see anything leaking at the pistons and the drive is not moving at all. Any help would be much appreciated.

Boat is a 2005 Formula 37PC 496mag/bravo 3 outdrives.

Only about 2 quarts
Look in your bilge and at the bottom of the transom assembly

Just as an fyi, the pumps are self bleeding. Just trim it up and down about a 1/2 dozen times and any air should be purged.
