power trim question

Not to long ago I bought a 94 tracker tournament 17 with a 40HP Motor. My question is this: I have no idea how to check the fluid on the trim. Is there someone that can give me a little guidance. I realize it's sort of a newbie question, but I want to take care of the boat. So I'll risk looking like a fool.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

mduncan62,

Tilt the motor up and look on the cylinder, there should screw (may be plastic) This should be were you will fill the reservoir.

Is the screw on top or on the bottom front? there's a big screw toward the bottom, but there's also a screw that's kind of on it's on on the top?

The screw on top should be the fill hole and the bottom is the drain.
Make sure the motor is tilted all the way up before taking the screw out.

The fluid will start running out if it is full.
