Re: Prime a new trim pumpp
I don't believe you have to. I think the pump is a positive displacement type, meaning it is self priming.
I blew a line a couple years ago, drained the system into a lake.
I replaced the hose, flushed it, filled it, and just ran it up and down to bleed the air out.

Re: Prime a new trim pumpp
Ditto, I rebuilt a pump and fill the reservoir and trim up and down...will make all kinds of ugly sounds and it purges air...keep and eye on the fluid and keep cycling the pump..will self purge.

Drained the system into a lake
Not only did I empty the system, but filled it with water trying to work the trim. Had lots 'o fun flushing everything.
