Evinrude ficht 200 tilt-trim problem

[tjrock]

My friends motor is jumping when you try and trim it down. It works fine going up only have the problem when trying to lower it. Any ideas

Check the fluid?   

What year is it?

I think there is a way to bleed those systems too, but I also know there is very little service that can be done on several of them.

May just need to lube the pistons also.

The motor is a 1999 it works fine going up it only does it when it gets about halfway down. I can't see where your supposed to check or put oil in it and of course he doesn't have a manual. Any help with how to check or add fluid would be appreciated.

Thanks Tim
