4.
If level is below bottom of dipstick, but fluid is still
visible in pump reservoir, add required amount of
Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid or au-
tomatic transmission fluid (ATF), Dexron Dexron
II, or Dexron III, through fill cap opening, to bring
level up to FULL COLD mark on dipstick. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
2. Turn steering wheel back and forth to end of trav-
el in each direction several times, then recheck
fluid level and add fluid, if necessary.
3.
Install vented fill cap.
! CAUTION
If fluid is not visible in reservoir, a leak exists in the
power steering system. Find cause and correct.
DO NOT operate engine without water being
supplied to seawater pickup pump, or pump im-
peller may be damaged and subsequent over-
heating damage to engine may result.
Filling and Bleeding Power
Steering System
4.
Start engine and run at fast idle (1000-1500
RPM) until engine reaches normal operating
temperature. During this time, turn steering
wheel back and forth to end of travel in each di-
rection several times.
IMPORTANT: Power steering system must be
filled exactly as explained in the following to be
sure that all air is bled from the system. All air
must be removed, or fluid in pump may foam dur-
ing operation and be discharged from pump res-
ervoir. Foamy fluid also may cause power steer-
ing system to become spongy, which may result
in poor boat control.
5.
Position drive unit so that it is straight back and
stop engine. Remove fill cap from pump. Allow
any foam in pump reservoir to disperse, then
check fluid level and add fluid, as required, to
bring level up to FULL HOT mark on dipstick. DO
NOT OVERFILL. Reinstall fill cap securely.
1.
With engine stopped, position drive unit so that it
is straight back. Remove fill cap/dipstick from
power steering pump. Add Quicksilver Power
Trim and Steering Fluid or automatic transmis-
sion fluid (ATF), Dexron, Dexron II or Dexron III,
as required, to bring level up to FULL COLD mark
on dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Drive unit must be positioned
straight back and power steering fluid must be
hot to accurately check fluid level.
6.
If fluid is still foamy (in Step 5), repeat Steps 4 and
until fluid does not foam and level remains con-
5
stant.
IMPORTANT: Use only Quicksilver Power Trim
and Steering Fluid or automatic transmission
fluid (ATF), Dexron, Dexron II or Dexron IIl in pow-
er steering system.
