The top right of the pump/reservoir should have a stainless steel round head slotted screw. Fill until full with either 5W-30 motor oil or ATF, whatever what is already in there.

PTT wiring is easy, especially if Trim Limit switch is broken, and most/all are at this point. You need three wires to two pushbuttons. Top pushbutton maybe ignored, if the other two work. Red to one side of both buttons for power. Blue wire from top button to blue wire on PTT Pump solenoid. Green from lower button to green wire on PTT Pump. Green(water) is for down, blue (sky) is for up. Purple was for trim limit switch. Ignore it....

Wire it the same way, if you have the control mounted toggle switch. Toggle up to put power on blue wire, toggle down to put power on green wire.
