Just completed an engine/coupler re-install on my 470 mercuiser.<br /><br />Was wondering if there will be a need to bleed the trim/tilt lines or can I just top up the pump reservoir and it'll be OK? I'm sure they're full of air pockets given I had to disconnect to pull the engine.<br /><br />If I have to bleed do I simply disconnect/loosen all lines at each cylinder or what?

Re: 470 tilt/trim pump air bleed

The recommended bleed method is to trim full up, then full down until you don't hear air anymore. Only fill the pump reservoir when the leg is fully down. <br /><br />Chris............
