ROUTINE INSPECTIONS
General
Check for external signs of fluid leakage. Correct
causes as necessary.
Check the battery and make sure it is in good
operating condition.
Reservoir Fluid
Check reservoir fluid level at least every three
years or 300 operating hours. System capacity is
approximately 15.2 fl. oz. (450 ml).
IMPORTANT:
Use only Evinrude/Johnson Bio-
degradable TNT Fluid to fill the hydraulic system.
Refer to Trim and Tilt on p. 73 for filling proce-
dure.
Manual Release Valve
Check the manual release valve with a torque
wrench.
IMPORTANT:
The valve must be tightened to a
torque of 45 to 55 in. lbs. (5 to 6 N·m).
Stern Brackets
Inspect the stern brackets for binding.
Tighten starboard tilt tube nut to a torque of 45 to
50 ft. lbs. (61 to 68 N·m).
ROUTINE INSPECTIONS
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
TESTS
Relay Testing
When the trim-UP button is pressed, the UP relay
is energized and connects the blue trim motor
wire to the battery positive (+) terminal. The green
trim motor wire remains grounded. When the but-
ton is released, the blue trim motor wire returns to
a grounded position.
When the trim-DOWN button is pressed, the
DOWN relay is energized and connects the green
trim motor wire to the battery positive (+) terminal.
The blue motor wire remains grounded. When the
button is released, the green trim motor wire
returns to a grounded position.
Refer to TILT/TRIM RELAY TEST on p. 135 for
relay testing procedure.
Trim and Tilt Motor
Current Draw Tests
Careful analysis of the electric motor's current
draw and trim/tilt unit operating speed aids evalu-
ation of the electric motor and certain mechanical
components.
Use a battery rated at 360 CCA (50 Ah) or higher
that is in good condition and fully charged to per-
form this test.
