Changing
You do not need to change the steering actuator and trim system oil and filter unless they become contaminated with water or
debris. A switch in the high‑pressure filter system will set a VesselView fault code to alert the operator when the hydraulic oil and
filter require changing.
Change the hydraulic oil and filter whenever the VesselView fault code is displayed.
VesselView Fault Code Reason Task
"Filter Dirty Fault" or "Service
Steering Filter"
Hydraulic oil filter is dirty
Change the oil and filter as soon as reasonably
possible, if not immediately
Contact your local Authorized Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Repair Facility for additional information.
