I am doing the Valve Body Seal Kit to hopefully fix the leak down when under 1/2 throttle or more. Now that everything is apart I have a couple of questions:
I picked up Evinrude Power Trim/Tilt & Steering Fluid & it is motor oil color, but the fluid in the unit is red (So I would assume the former owner has changed to ATF). Can these fluids be mixed??? Or do I need to completely drain old fluid - or - just use Dextron II ATF?
I can not get the Check Valves out of the Manifold, is there a "trick" for this?
I would think both filters would be in the Kit. There is no new filter for the top (the one that is held in place with the gear unit).
Thanks in advance, as I do not have much experience with hydraulic systems.
