Fluid for tilt/trim

[imported_Teaser]

I have a tilt/trim assembly which consists of motor on the left, and fluid canister on the right. (1985 175 Yamaha) How do I get all my fluid into it and prime this thing? I cannot figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Trim the engine all of the way up to access the bolt that allows you to fill the cannister. I use an old fashioned oil can with a flexible hose to fill. Setting the trailer tongue as low as possile will help. After filling trim the motor all of the way up and don several times to bleed the air.
