I'm about to start work on this tilt trim and was wondering how much fluid (hydraulic)to put in? There is no window to see level?

trevor ,you should use your original post to keep us all in tune with your line of questions, with engine tilted all the way up fill the res. till it s full to the fill screw hole.then put fill screw in and cycle it a few times then recheck the fluid level, top off again if necessary.did the nut trick work???

I tried the nut thing and my check valve screw came out in two pieces,i tryed to put it back together and re-install but when i did i get no tilt and no trim.
