Changing
Power trim fluid does not require changing unless it becomes contaminated with water or debris. Contact your Mercury Diesel
authorized repair facility.
Power Steering Fluid
The power steering fluid level should be checked at regular intervals.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the steering wheel at full lock longer than 15 seconds with the engine running. The power steering
fluid will heat up considerably when the steering wheel is at full lock and could damage the power steering system.
When the steering wheel is at full lock, power steering pump noise will increase as the pump is under full load and the engine
idle RPM will be reduced momentarily.
Checking
1. Center the sterndrive and stop the engine.
2. Remove the fill cap and dipstick from the fluid reservoir and observe the level.
