Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Trim the sterndrive to the fully "up" position and secure it with a trailering bracket. Disconnect the boat's battery.
2. Locate Hoses: Identify the four hydraulic hoses connecting the port and starboard trim cylinders to the connector block.
3. Release Pressure: Place a rag under the fittings to catch any fluid. Carefully loosen the fittings at both ends of the old hoses to release residual hydraulic pressure.
4. Remove Old Hoses: Once pressure is released, fully disconnect and remove the four old hoses. Note their routing paths.
5. Install New Hoses: Route the new hoses following the original paths. Hand-tighten all fittings first to avoid cross-threading.
6. Tighten Fittings: Securely tighten all fittings with an appropriate wrench, being careful not to overtighten.
7. Bleed the System: Reconnect the battery. Check the hydraulic fluid level and top it off if needed. Cycle the trim system up and down several times to bleed any air out.
8. Inspect for Leaks: With the system pressurized, carefully inspect all new connections for any signs of hydraulic fluid leaks before use.
