Checking oil level, power trim
The Power Trim system is a closed center hydraulic
system. Regular checks of the fluid level are not nec-
essary, but if functionality deteriorates check the fluid
level in the Power Trim system.
1 Trim the sterndrive down to maximum.
The sterndrive must be fully trimmed down when
the fluid level is checked or fluid is filled in order to
show the correct level.
Position the sterndrive hard astarboard to access
the trim pump.
2 Clean the area around the filler cap (
1
) to prevent
dirt from entering the trim system.
3 Remove the filler cap. The fluid must reach all the
way up to the hole.
Fill with Volvo Penta Power Trim and steering fluid
as necessary.
Corrosion protection, checking and
changing
Check the anodes regularly. Replace with new anodes
when approximately 1/3 of an anode has corroded
away.
When the boat is stored ashore, corrosion protection
deteriorates due to anode oxidization. Even new ano-
des may oxidize on the surface; always clean/sand
them before launch.
IMPORTANT!
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.
The sterndrive is fitted with aluminum anodes as stand-
ard, intended for use in salt water. If the sterndrive is
to be used principally in freshwater, the anodes must
be magnesium.
Use anodes according to the following:
•
Zinc in salt water.
•
Magnesium in freshwater.
•
Aluminum when the boat is used primarily in salt
water and sometimes in brackish water.
