Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend on the lake, without any problems

This is going to sound like an incredibly stupid question, but even after I rebuilt and installed the engine and outdrive I can't seem to find where to check or fill the trim fluid

It's a 1968 Mercruiser 160 with an MR outdrive with power trim... the real problem is that the outdrive won't stay up when trimmed up, so i thought I'd check the fluid first. The outdrives goes up and down great but it doesn't stay up, it will gradually lower itself all the way down over about 15 mins



Any ideas on where to start looking or where to fill the fluid?

If its the one with the large square res, look just to the left of the solenoid for a large flat head screwdriver head bolt
