So the tilt/ trim on my boat acts as if it has air in the system or its just low on fluid, goes up real slow at first then you can hear a difference in the pump and it goes faster. It also doesn't stay up if left that way.
I was going to drain and fill the fluid but it looks as though the drain plug, manual release( I think it's the same thing on this one) has been broken and is seized in its threads.....it had a screwdriver slot to remove it.
So I guess my question(s) are, any suggestions on how to remove the plug and where do you think I can get another?
Could I replace the whole works with a unit that would mount inside the boat like an I/O setup?

I can post a picture later this afternoon.

Thanks
