Likewise, how do I add tilt and trim fluid to my Yamaha outboard?
Then you just remove the hydraulic fluid fill screw near the top of the trim reservoir and add fluid until it starts to overflow. Then trim the motor up and down, try to add a little more fluid and trim it up and down again.
Secondly, can I use power steering fluid in my power trim? You will be fine. If there is any change in the speed of the the tabs, that will be short lived until the fluids gets all mixed together. Chances are you won't notice any difference. ATF and power steering are pretty close in viscosity, 30wt motor oil is way more viscous.

Bleeding: OB tilt/trim units are "self-bleeding" and you should always perform these "purge cycles" to follow even if you don't need to add any more fluid. To purge/check, remove the tilt lock (if engaged) and cycle the OB down by "jogging" it down, in 2-3 seconds runs.
Why is my tilt and trim not working?
If the motor operates, then the problem is a lack of power to the motor (faulty solenoid or relay, bad connections, etc.).

The angle of the outboard machine is actively changed by trim function, and an efficient running is secured. Tilt function is useful for the protection of the outboard engine.How do you manually raise an inboard outboard motor?
