Power Trim Service? - Force 120HP 1999

[Onegazza]

Hi All,

I'm putting my order into Crowley to be shipped to the UK, ready for winter maintenance.

One thing I haven't touched since I've owned the boat is the power trim (and I also don't have any problems). I'm making the assumption it's not been touched in many years. Are there any service kits or, any particular parts I should change / take it apart or, just a fluid change?

Attached are the parts diagrams, which dont seem to identify any service kits.

Thanks!

If it work good....leave it alone.
Do you change the oil in your hydraulic car jack if it work?

No service unless it's giving you trouble.
The only service is keep the stainless ram/s coated in oil or grease.
Inspect the seal where the ram exits the cap.
IF??? it's cracking or lifting out then you need to change it.
Make sure the spanner wrench used is the right size.
It's probably gonna slip anyway, so be prepared to drill it
oversized and use a good spanner wrench.
I used something like this but mine was brass and stainless steel.
