Power tilt and Trim Question

[wdmso]

I have never checked or replaced or topped off my tilt and trim in 10 years

Question ? seeing I’ve never had an issue and don’t see any leaks leave it alone ?

Or just top it off just in case .

I’ve always been a if it isn’t broken don’t F with it kind of person

Is the hydraulic fluid low? This will be an issue someday if it is. So add some. Assume there is a little head tank to check and fill. Don’t know your engine
Otherwise why would you fix anything that isn’t broken like you said if things look good. Season is just starting. I wouldn’t open a can of worms and be out of the game for a bit this time of year. That would be a fall winter project.

I know my engine lol. there’s nothing like a dipstick or a viewing window to even tell how much fluid actually is the system.

It’s just an odd set up the fill tube is just a screw.cap mounted vertically
