CHECKING POWER TRIM FLUID
Ensure the engine is off and cold before checking power trim fl uid.
Locate the power trim fl uid reservoir and check that the fl uid within
is its normal color and level. Discolored fl uid may suggest water
infi ltrating the power trim system. This fl uid normally does not need
to be replaced or topped off. Fluid increases may also be a sign of
water in the power trim fl uid while fl uid loss may be a sign of a leak.
If water presence is discovered, contact your Regal dealer.
Volvo based systems normally have power trim fl uid located on the
stern drive mounted to the transom, while Mercury systems normally
have a reservoir mounted in the engine compartment.

particularly presents itself around marinas with shore power. The
added electricity to the water speeds up chemical reactions that take
place between your boat and the water. This process is known by
