How do you bleed air from a trim pump?
Bleeding: OB tilt/trim units are “self-bleeding” and you should always perform these “purge cycles” 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 3 second bursts. Then rest the motor about 15 seconds.
Do trim tabs increase top speed?
Tabs Don’t Increase Speed Virtually every performance boat has trim tabs. Lowering them improves your boat’s ride in rough seas because they force down the bow, keeping more running surface in the water. Raising them in calm water reduces drag, but using tabs doesn’t make your boat faster.

What kind of fluid does a power trim system use?
Hydraulic fluids are based on mineral oil. They transfer force between surfaces and transfer heat generated by compression away from the hydraulic surfaces—the pistons and cylinder walls that make up the hydraulic ram in a power tilt/trim system. Ideally, a hydraulic fluid will have sealing capabilities and will act as a lubricant.
What kind of hydraulic oil do you use for power trim?
The best hydraulic fluids won’t separate into their component chemicals—a process called demulsification. When hydraulic fluid demulsifies, it will not provide a uniform transfer of heat and force between hydraulic surfaces. Not all hydraulic oil is compatible with the Johnson power tilt/trim system.
