You, sir, are the Mr. Rogers of boat repair.

Hi Michael, I Firstly, your videos have been of great assistance to me, as I am a mechanical moron.😂 My question is. My Alpha1 Gen1 leg needs air bleeding. However, my leg is in the fully up (trailer posit 4:0, ion) cannot get it down so I can bleed the system. Can I bleed it as is? Or is there a way, other than using the trim switch up, then down, as I push down on the leg at the same time?

If I am only replacing the lines and not the trim ram, is the bleeding less comprehensive?? I was hoping that I literally could just crack the lines at the connection to the rams and get the air out of the lines that way.. Plz advise..

Step by step video, love it, thanks Michael and Merry Christmas to you and your family 👍😁

Hi again Michael, I have just removed the top hoses so both sides, but the leg, which I hoped would fall down, will not move. I have tried to manually lift up and push down but it seems to be locked. Can you help with a solution, please?

I have a 2001 5.0 Mercruiser. My manual says I can use 10W30 or 10W40 engine oil for the trim pump. Far cheaper than the Mercruiser trim fluid.

nice job!. when cycling up/down... wait a min between cycles. Air gets whipped into fluid/reservoir. Waiting a few gives air a chance to separate from oil.

Good morning , what if I only opened the system up inside the boat to replace the o rings on the bottom of the pump ( older style ) I had to remove the pump from the boat , do I drill need to bleed the system like this ? Rams and hoses should still be full of oil I would think ...... Thanks for your time

Can you drain all the fluid out by just taking those lines off and trimming up? Think my fluid needs replaced to not just topped off

Hi Mike.. Why does my tilt up/down works perfectly but my trim will only work on the down and not up? Cant be solenoids if tilt up/down is working fine.. Also I hv cleaned the trim limiter connections so I am at a loss as tk what else tk do.. Thoughts?

Great instructions, thank you!

How do you locate/purchase mercruiser 4.3 trim ram plugs? I'm ready to bleed my hydraulic trim pump lines.

You should do voiceovers on every “how to” video

I have metal reservoir so how do I refill fluid in it?

I can't get my trim down to do this?

Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
